Best for: Built as a serious enduro competition and trail machine, it excels at tackling technical terrain like rocks, roots, and tight woods sections rather than road use.
Built for: It rewards an aggressive, momentum-based riding style with sharp throttle response and a light, flickable feel through single-track and technical obstacles.
Not ideal for: This is not the right choice for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long paved-highway touring.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
