How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a pure motocross-style off-road weapon for trail riding, cross-country racing, and technical terrain rather than street use.
- Built for
- A sharp, lightweight, high-revving dirt machine that rewards aggressive, active riding and quick directional changes over rocks, jumps, and loose surfaces.
- Not ideal for
- Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable road-going commuter, a passenger-friendly machine, or long-distance paved touring.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
