Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a restricted/detuned version of the XT350, well suited to newer riders or those on a licence that limits power output.
PurposeBest suited to light trail riding, green laning, and simple around-town errands rather than any kind of high-speed use.
Rider FitIts low 150 kg weight and slim enduro chassis make it easy to manage, flick around, and pick up if dropped off-road.
CharacterA friendly, forgiving single-cylinder trail bike whose reduced power output favors smoothness and predictability over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders wanting sustained highway speed, two-up touring comfort, or any serious performance riding.
