Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a purebred enduro machine best suited to experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, aggressive competition bike. |
| Purpose | Built for enduro racing and technical off-road trails, not for street commuting or highway travel. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 920mm seat height and minimal 8.5 litre fuel tank demand a fit, confident rider used to standing and shifting weight actively over rough terrain. |
| Character | A featherweight, high-revving single-cylinder racer that rewards precise inputs with exceptional agility and off-road capability. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for riders wanting a comfortable, long-distance tourer or a relaxed daily commuter. |
