Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some off-road or dual-sport experience due to the tall seat height and torquey big-bore single.
PurposeDesigned primarily for enduro and off-road riding, with enough civility to handle occasional road use.
Rider FitThe tall 885mm seat height and 153kg dry weight demand a reasonably fit rider comfortable with standing and maneuvering the bike off-road.
CharacterA rugged, torque-rich big single that rewards riders who enjoy trail exploration and a raw, mechanical connection to the terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for shorter riders, highway commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a smooth, vibration-free ride.
