Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-oriented enduro machine best suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for serious enduro and technical off-road riding, not as a road or commuting motorcycle.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height and minimal weight favor taller, fitter riders who can handle standing riding and manhandling the bike over obstacles.
CharacterA high-strung, race-bred DOHC single with sharp throttle response and a chassis tuned for precision over rough terrain rather than outright top speed.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly tourer, or a low-maintenance beginner-friendly machine.
