Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a competition-grade enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, high-strung race bike.
PurposeBuilt for serious enduro competition and technical trail riding rather than street use or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height, minimal seat padding, and 109kg dry weight demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road standing-riding stamina.
CharacterA sharp, race-focused four-stroke enduro bike with a peaky DOHC engine, premium WP suspension, and Akrapovic exhaust that rewards aggressive, skilled riding.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not a good fit for commuters, passengers, beginners, or anyone wanting a comfortable road-going or touring machine.
