Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to skilled or dedicated novice trials riders, since balance and clutch control matter far more than raw speed.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, tackling rocks, logs, and technical obstacle sections at walking pace.
Rider FitIts featherweight 72 kg dry mass and tiny 2-litre tank demand active standing riding and constant body movement rather than seated comfort.
CharacterA featherlight, high-clearance, razor-precise machine that rewards finesse and technique over horsepower.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders wanting a comfortable seat, highway speed, long range, or any kind of everyday road use.
