- Built for
- A nimble, high-revving single-cylinder off-road machine that rewards aggressive, standing-up riding and quick directional changes over long-distance comfort.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders wanting a comfortable highway cruiser, a passenger-friendly bike, or anyone seeking strong top-end speed on paved roads.
