Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders from intermediate offroad skill upward, since the tall seat height and light but lively chassis reward some prior dirt or dual-sport experience.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a trail and enduro bike for tackling rough terrain, technical singletrack, and light motocross-style riding rather than sustained highway use.
Rider FitThe tall 945mm seat height and 113kg dry weight make it easy to muscle around standing up, but shorter riders may struggle to flat-foot it at stops.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving single-cylinder trail weapon that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs and quick direction changes over obstacles.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer or a bike with strong top-end highway performance.
