Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some two-stroke and off-road experience, as the peaky power delivery and light chassis reward an active riding style.
PurposeThis is a dedicated enduro machine built for trails, dirt tracks and light off-road adventuring rather than sustained road use.
Rider FitIts very light weight of around 123 kg and tall, narrow build make it easy to muscle around at low speed but demand good balance and standing-up riding technique.
CharacterA classic lightweight two-stroke enduro with a buzzy, revvy single-cylinder engine that rewards momentum and skillful gear use over outright power.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or a smooth, low-maintenance daily commuter.
