Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding enduro-cross machine best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, aggressive, high-compression four-stroke dirt bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive cross and motocross-style off-road riding, not for street use or commuting.
Rider FitThe tall 998mm seat height, lightweight 112.5kg dry chassis, and firm long-travel suspension demand good rider fitness, leg length, and off-road technique.
CharacterA raw, high-revving, five-valve single-cylinder thumper that rewards aggressive, committed riding with sharp agility and strong torque delivery off-road.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for new riders, daily commuting, passengers, or anyone seeking a comfortable road-going or touring motorcycle.

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.
