Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a serious competition motocross machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a powerful open-class single.
PurposeBuilt purely for motocross racing and hard off-road riding, not for commuting or everyday street use.
Rider FitIts light 108kg weight aids handling but the tall seat height, stiff long-travel suspension, and aggressive power delivery demand good fitness and off-road skill.
CharacterA raw, lightweight, high-revving big-bore single that rewards aggressive, committed riding with sharp agility and strong acceleration out of corners.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for new riders, passengers, daily commuting, or any kind of highway touring.
