Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to beginner and learner riders due to its low power and light, manageable dimensions.
Purpose	Designed as a lightweight two-stroke enduro for trail riding, learning off-road skills, and casual commuting rather than outright speed.
Rider Fit	The tall-ish seat height and slim, light chassis make it accessible to shorter or lighter riders, though the firm off-road stance rewards an active riding posture.
Character	A playful, buzzy little two-stroke that loves being thrown around trails and tight corners but runs out of breath on the open road.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or a passenger-friendly ride.
