How it rides

- It exists purely to conquer technical, obstacle-laden terrain at walking pace through precision throttle and body control rather than outright speed.
- Built for
- It rewards a patient, highly technical rider who enjoys finesse, hopping over rocks and logs more than a straight-line speed junkie.
- Not ideal for
