Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate-to-advanced off-road riders who understand 2-stroke power delivery and clutch management.
PurposeBuilt as a cross-country/off-road competition machine, essentially a trail-tuned YZ125 motocrosser with wider-ratio gearing and off-road suspension settings.
Rider FitVery light wet weight and tall seat height demand an active, fit rider comfortable standing and shifting body weight through rough terrain.
CharacterRaw, high-strung, and reward-driven, this bike delivers sharp, punchy 2-stroke power and razor-sharp agility for riders who like to work the bike hard.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking comfort, highway capability, passenger accommodation, or a low-maintenance, easy-going ride.
