Best for
A street-legal enduro built to devour trails, rocks and technical terrain, with just enough road legality to link sections together.
Built for
Light, punchy and eager, an SOHC 450 thumper that feels like a competition weapon with a plate - playful off-road, twitchy and buzzy on tarmac.
Not ideal for
Not for commuters, tourers, passenger-carriers or short riders; the tiny 9.5L tank, hard seat and knobby tires make sustained road use miserable.
