Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike rewards riders with intermediate to advanced off-road skill, as its light weight and punchy two-stroke power delivery demand active riding and clutch control.
PurposeBuilt purely for serious enduro and cross-country off-road competition and trail riding, not for street use.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight around 101 kg and tall 950 mm seat height favor fit, agile riders comfortable standing and manhandling the bike over rough terrain.
CharacterA raw, lightweight two-stroke enduro weapon that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs, technical trails, and quick direction changes.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for commuting, highway touring, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking creature comforts and long-distance stability.
