How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for technical trail riding and enduro use, with enough refinement to double as a light dual-sport runabout.
- Built for
- A nimble, high-revving single-cylinder machine that rewards active riding, precise inputs, and a willingness to stand up and attack rough terrain.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders seeking high top-speed highway cruising, plush two-up touring comfort, or a low-effort, low-seat commuter experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
