Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding big-bore enduro best suited to experienced off-road riders comfortable with a powerful, torquey single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt for serious enduro and off-road competition where light weight and strong power-to-weight ratio translate into rapid acceleration and effortless direction changes over rough terrain.
Rider FitThe tall 950mm seat height and light 116kg dry weight demand good rider fitness, leg length, and standing-riding stamina rather than raw strength.
CharacterRaw, aggressive, and purpose-built, this bike rewards an active riding style and a rider who enjoys wrestling with a punchy four-stroke single on technical trails.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking a plush, low-maintenance ride for paved touring or daily road use.
