Rider Profile
| Best For | Beginner-friendly dual-sport. Light, forgiving and easy to manage, great for newer riders learning both on- and off-road skills, yet fun enough for experienced trail commuters. |
| Purpose | A do-it-all lightweight enduro/dual-sport for green lanes, dirt trails, and everyday tarmac commuting. Happiest bridging city streets and off-road tracks. |
| Rider Fit | Tall 855mm seat and 275mm ground clearance suit taller riders; slim, upright and airy at just 130kg wet. Long-travel front fork, 21in front wheel, kick-start only. |
| Character | A simple, honest air-cooled thumper. Low-stress 27hp single that's cheerful, dependable and unintimidating - light on its feet rather than fast. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for highway tourers, two-up travel, or riders chasing speed. Short-legged riders will struggle with the seat height; no electric start. |
