Best for
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
It is not suitable for anyone wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-carrying tourer, or a highway-capable motorcycle.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
