Rider Profile

Best For	For young or lightweight racers progressing beyond minis; demands competent throttle and clutch control to manage its peaky two-stroke power.
Purpose	A dedicated youth motocross racer built for closed dirt circuits, jumps and berms - pure competition, not transport.
Rider Fit	Tiny and feather-light with a 750mm seat, 280mm ground clearance and long-travel WP suspension; sized for smaller riders on 17/14 wheels.
Character	Sharp, revvy and aggressive - a snappy liquid-cooled two-stroke that rewards commitment with explosive acceleration and razor agility.
Not Ideal For	Not for road use, commuting, touring or passengers; no lights, kick-start only, knobby tires and race-only intent make it street-illegal.
