Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to expert off-road riders comfortable with a tall, light, high-strung competition-derived cross-country machine.
PurposeBuilt for cross-country and off-road racing, favoring flickable handling and strong midrange over outright top speed or road use.
Rider FitThe tall 37.6 inch seat height and 243 lb wet weight demand decent rider height, fitness, and standing-attack riding technique.
CharacterA precise, high-revving 250cc four-stroke race bike with sharp throttle response and razor-sharp handling in tight, technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly setup, 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). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
