How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a big-bore cross/motocross-derived enduro weapon, it excels at hard trail riding, woods racing, and technical off-road competition rather than everyday transport.
- Built for
- It has the raw, punchy, torque-heavy character typical of a large-displacement carbureted single, rewarding aggressive rider input with fast direction changes and strong acceleration out of corners.
- Not ideal for
- This is not a good fit for new riders, commuters, passengers, or anyone wanting a comfortable long-distance road-touring machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
