Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced off-road riders who can handle a light, high-strung two-stroke single with an aggressive power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a competition-oriented enduro/motocross machine, it is designed for off-road speed and agility rather than everyday transport.
Rider FitIts very light weight of around 96 kg makes it easy to muscle around and flick over rough terrain, though the tall suspension and seat height demand decent rider fitness and confidence.
CharacterExpect a raw, buzzy two-stroke character with sharp throttle response and a focus on lightweight, nimble handling over comfort or refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders wanting a comfortable, passenger-friendly, or long-distance touring motorcycle.
