How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a street-legal enduro, its heart is trail riding, single-track, and technical off-road terrain, with road use being a practical afterthought.
- Built for
- It's a raw, high-strung dirt bike with a big-bore single engine character, rewarding riders who enjoy standing on the pegs and attacking rough terrain.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting a plush, stable highway cruiser or someone seeking low-effort commuting comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
