Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist trials machine best suited to riders who already have some off-road or trials competition experience, though skilled beginners under proper coaching can learn on it too.
PurposeBuilt purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, tackling obstacles, rocks, and technical terrain at walking pace rather than for any kind of conventional riding.
Rider FitIts featherweight dry mass and tiny seat height make it extremely easy to manhandle and balance, favoring technique, balance, and leg strength over raw physical bulk.
CharacterA featherlight, razor-responsive two-stroke trials tool defined by explosive low-down torque delivery, pinpoint chassis feedback, and total disregard for comfort or a conventional seat.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for anyone wanting a road-going, touring, or daily commuter bike, as it lacks a real seat, lights, fuel range, and any high-speed capability.
