Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate-to-experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, high-revving enduro machine.
PurposeBuilt for competitive enduro and technical trail riding rather than commuting or highway travel.
Rider FitThe tall 37.6 inch seat height and lightweight 249 lb chassis favor taller or more agile riders confident standing and maneuvering the bike over rough terrain.
CharacterA sharp, responsive dirt-focused machine with a peaky high-strung engine character typical of a fuel-injected 250cc off-road four-stroke.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance paved touring.
