Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious enduro machine best suited to intermediate and experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro riding and technical off-road trails rather than street use or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and long suspension travel demand an active, standing riding style and reasonable fitness, though the low mass makes it more manageable than a big adventure bike.
CharacterA punchy, torquey four-stroke single with fuel injection and premium adjustable suspension gives it a responsive, precise, race-ready feel.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or a machine suited to sustained highway touring.
