Rider Profile

Best For	This is a pure competition motocross machine best suited to experienced off-road or motocross riders, not beginners.
Purpose	Built specifically for motocross racing and hard off-road riding, with a high-revving 525cc single, long-travel suspension, and no concessions to road use.
Rider Fit	The tall 925mm seat height, kick starter, and aggressive suspension setup demand good fitness, strength, and off-road riding skill.
Character	A featherweight, razor-sharp, high-strung dirt weapon that rewards aggressive, physical riding with explosive acceleration out of corners and jumps.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not for commuting, touring, carrying passengers, or riders looking for comfort and low-maintenance road use.
