Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious competition enduro machine best suited to intermediate-to-advanced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, firm, aggressive dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt for enduro racing and technical off-road trail riding rather than commuting or road use.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height, light dry-sump chassis, and minimal seat padding demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road standing-riding stamina.
CharacterA focused, high-strung, race-bred single-cylinder enduro bike that rewards active, skillful riding with sharp handling and excellent suspension travel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, taller-distance touring, two-up riding, or anyone wanting a comfortable street-oriented motorcycle.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
