Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate to advanced who want a genuinely capable offroad tool rather than a beginner commuter.
PurposeBuilt primarily for technical trail riding and enduro use, with enough refinement to double as a light dual-sport runabout.
Rider FitTall 930mm seat height and narrow, lightweight chassis favor riders who are reasonably fit and comfortable standing on pegs, though the low weight makes it manageable for shorter riders too.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving single-cylinder machine that rewards active riding, precise inputs, and a willingness to stand up and attack rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking high top-speed highway cruising, plush two-up touring comfort, or a low-effort, low-seat commuter experience.
