Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to advanced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light 2-stroke enduro bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for trail riding, tight woods sections, and technical off-road enduro competition rather than any road use.
Rider FitIts 919mm seat height and 101kg dry weight demand decent leg length and fitness but reward the rider with an extremely nimble, easy-to-manhandle machine.
CharacterA raw, high-revving 2-stroke single that rewards active riding, clutch control, and confident throttle input on rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for highway commuting, passenger carrying, or riders seeking plush comfort and low-maintenance touring capability.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
