How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for serious enduro and trail riding, with excellent power-to-weight for technical terrain rather than sustained road use.
- Built for
- A sharp, agile, high-revving single-cylinder enduro that rewards an aggressive, standing-up riding style and quick direction changes.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or a low, easy-to-manage commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
