Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine suits experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, motocross-style motorcycle rather than newcomers.
PurposeBuilt as a cross/motocross machine, it excels at dirt tracks, trails, and aggressive off-road riding rather than commuting or highway cruising.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height and lightweight 110kg dry weight demand good rider height and fitness but reward it with easy maneuverability.
CharacterIt has the character of a raw, high-revving single-cylinder off-road weapon with premium WP suspension and a race-bred exhaust note.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking long-distance comfort, pillion capability, or a relaxed daily commuting experience.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
