Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big-bore enduro weapon best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with tall, top-heavy, powerful off-road machines.
PurposeBuilt for serious mixed-terrain adventure and hard enduro riding, with enough V-twin torque to also cover fast open-road transit between trails.
Rider FitThe 950mm seat height and 185kg dry weight with a tall, narrow chassis demand strong legs and good balance, especially at low speed or off-road.
CharacterIt has the rangy, torquey, slightly wild personality of a rally-bred big-bore twin that feels most alive standing on the pegs on rough ground.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for shorter riders, pure commuters, or anyone wanting plush two-up touring comfort.
