Rider Profile

Best ForBeginner-friendly in restricted form; its manageable 27hp and light weight suit newer riders on a learner licence, yet it still rewards experienced off-road hands in the dirt.
PurposeA dual-sport enduro built to conquer trails, gravel and rough terrain while remaining street-legal for the ride to the woods and back.
Rider FitTall, slim and airy with a lofty seat, minimal bodywork and long-travel suspension. Light 134kg makes it easy to flick, but the seat and tiny 8.7L tank limit distance.
CharacterA torquey thumping single with go-anywhere attitude; the reduced-power tune tames the big LC4 into an approachable, playful trail companion rather than a fire-breather.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway tourers, two-up travel, track-day chasers or anyone wanting sustained high-speed comfort - the small tank and off-road focus fight all of those.
