Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purpose-built enduro machine best suited to riders with intermediate to advanced off-road skills who are comfortable with a tall seat height and light, snappy chassis.
PurposeDesigned for technical off-road enduro riding, trail work, and competition-style terrain rather than road use or commuting.
Rider FitThe tall 900mm seat height and minimal creature comforts demand a taller rider with good fitness, core strength, and confidence standing on the pegs for extended periods.
CharacterA light, high-revving single-cylinder machine with a stiff chromoly frame and fully adjustable long-travel suspension, giving it nimble, flickable handling and strong ground clearance for aggressive off-road maneuvering.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders seeking highway comfort, passenger carrying, long-distance touring range, or a low, beginner-friendly seat height.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
