Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-focused cross-country machine best suited to intermediate through expert off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, punchy 2-stroke.
PurposeBuilt for cross-country and enduro-style off-road racing where light weight, agility, and a lively 2-stroke power delivery matter more than outright top speed or comfort.
Rider FitThe tall 954 mm seat height and dirt-bike ergonomics demand good rider fitness, leg length, and standing-riding stamina rather than relaxed seated comfort.
CharacterA raw, high-strung, and playful machine that rewards active, aggressive riding with sharp handling and explosive 2-stroke acceleration out of corners.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a passenger-friendly tourer, or a road-legal high-speed machine.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
