Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a tall seat height and aggressive dirt geometry.
Purpose	Built as a pure motocross-style off-road weapon for trail riding, cross-country racing, and technical terrain rather than street use.
Rider Fit	The tall 900mm seat height and light 128kg wet weight favor taller or more athletic riders who can manage standing and shifting body weight over rough terrain.
Character	A sharp, lightweight, high-revving dirt machine that rewards aggressive, active riding and quick directional changes over rocks, jumps, and loose surfaces.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable road-going commuter, a passenger-friendly machine, or long-distance paved touring.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary).
