Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders comfortable with a tall, long-travel enduro-style machine.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance overland adventure and mixed on/off-road exploration rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe tall 896mm seat height and 212kg weight demand reasonable rider height and confidence handling a top-heavy bike at low speeds, especially off-road.
CharacterA rugged, torquey single-cylinder adventure bike with a no-nonsense, go-anywhere personality and generous fuel range.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing high-speed thrills or seeking plush, sport-touring road refinement.
