Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced off-road riders who are comfortable with a tall, aggressive big-bore thumper and a kick-start-only, race-oriented machine.
PurposeIt's built for competitive enduro and technical off-road riding rather than street use or leisure cruising.
Rider FitThe light dry weight and tall enduro stance favor fit, agile riders who can manage a punchy big-single powerband and stand-up riding technique.
CharacterIt has the character of a raw, purpose-built race weapon: light, torquey, and unapologetically focused on dirt performance over comfort.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for beginners, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable, passenger-friendly, or road-touring machine.
