Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious offroad enduro machine best suited to riders with genuine dirt-riding experience rather than newcomers to motorcycling.
PurposeBuilt purely for technical enduro trails, tight woods sections, and competitive offroad riding rather than any road use.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and tall suspension travel demand an active, standing riding style and reasonable fitness, but the low mass makes it very manageable for its class.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving single-cylinder four-stroke with race-bred suspension and a chassis designed to reward precise, aggressive input on rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance road touring.
