Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with prior off-road or dirt bike experience who are comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt specifically for technical off-road enduro riding, trail work, and competition-style terrain rather than road use.
Rider FitIts very light weight and tall 955mm seat height favor riders who are reasonably fit and confident standing on pegs, though the low mass makes it manageable for a range of body sizes.
CharacterA raw, purposeful dirt-focused enduro with race-bred suspension and minimal road-going compromise.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a machine for sustained highway touring.
