Rider Profile

Best For	This is a purebred competition enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, aggressive, kick-start-only dirt bike.
Purpose	Built for enduro racing and serious trail riding, not for road use or commuting.
Rider Fit	The tall 925mm seat height, light 113.5kg dry weight, and physical demands of a full-size motocross-derived chassis require good rider fitness and reasonable leg length.
Character	Sharp, high-revving, and razor-focused, this bike rewards aggressive input with explosive agility and race-ready handling on rough terrain.
Not Ideal For	This is not suited to riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a machine for long paved-road touring.
