Rider Profile

Best ForBeginner-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.
PurposeA 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 FitTall 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.
CharacterA simple, honest air-cooled thumper. Low-stress 27hp single that's cheerful, dependable and unintimidating - light on its feet rather than fast.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway tourers, two-up travel, or riders chasing speed. Short-legged riders will struggle with the seat height; no electric start.
