How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for serious enduro and trail riding, it excels at technical single-track, tight woods sections, and demanding terrain rather than any road-going use.
- Built for
- Its two-stroke engine gives a light, punchy, and revvy character with an eager, playful feel that thrives when pushed hard and flicked through tight terrain.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for commuters, passengers, long-distance tourers, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road-focused ride.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
