Best for
Built purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, tackling rocks, logs, steep banks and technical obstacles at near-walking speed rather than for any kind of road use.
Built for
A featherweight, high-clearance trials tool with razor-sharp low-speed handling, a torquey small-capacity engine, and no concessions to comfort or cruising ability.
Not ideal for
This is not for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a highway-capable machine, or anyone seeking sustained speed or long-distance touring capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
