How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A do-it-all lightweight enduro/dual-sport for green lanes, dirt trails, and everyday tarmac commuting. Happiest bridging city streets and off-road tracks.
- Built for
- A simple, honest air-cooled thumper. Low-stress 27hp single that's cheerful, dependable and unintimidating - light on its feet rather than fast.
- Not ideal for
- Not for highway tourers, two-up travel, or riders chasing speed. Short-legged riders will struggle with the seat height; no electric start.
