Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, two-stroke enduro machine and its kick-start-only, no-frills nature.
PurposeBuilt as a dedicated enduro and trail bike for tight, technical off-road terrain rather than road use or touring.
Rider FitThe tall 980mm seat height and minimal weight favor taller or more agile riders who can manage standing riding and technical maneuvering.
CharacterA featherweight, high-revving two-stroke enduro with sharp, playful handling and serious off-road credentials.
Not Ideal ForNot a good choice for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger capability, or long-distance touring practicality.
