Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist minibike aimed at young or small riders and experienced racers honing skills, not a machine for road-going beginners.
PurposeBuilt purely for minicross competition and practice, delivering sharp two-stroke response in a tiny, purpose-built race chassis.
Rider FitIts very low seat height and featherweight 57 kg dry weight suit smaller, lighter riders, typically kids or petite adults, rather than larger frames.
CharacterA high-strung, liquid-cooled two-stroke racer character with a 6-speed gearbox that rewards aggressive shifting and precise throttle control on tight circuits.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suitable for road use, commuting, touring, carrying passengers, or riders seeking comfort and long-distance capability.
