How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, focused on tackling obstacles, steep terrain, and technical balance challenges at very low speeds.
- Built for
- A featherweight, high-revving two-stroke with razor-sharp responsiveness, minimal flywheel effect, and a chassis tuned entirely for momentary bursts of technical control rather than sustained speed.
- Not ideal for
- This is not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable daily commuter, a highway tourer, or anyone seeking a passenger-friendly or high-speed road machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
