Rider Profile

Best For	This is a serious offroad enduro best suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, and lively two-stroke.
Purpose	Built for competitive enduro and technical trail riding rather than road use, with a 2-stroke engine tuned for tractable, wide-spread power delivery.
Rider Fit	Its very low dry weight and tall 960mm seat height reward an agile, fit rider who can shift body weight actively over rough terrain.
Character	A raw, purposeful dirt machine that feels eager, flickable, and responsive, with premium WP suspension soaking up harsh obstacles with ease.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable road bike, a passenger-friendly setup, or someone new to tall, lightweight off-road machines.
