How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built around a big-bore 750cc V-twin in a lightweight steel frame with long-travel suspension, it is purpose-designed for serious off-road and desert-style enduro riding rather than pavement performance.
- Built for
- It has the character of a raw, mechanical dirt-focused special, offering direct feedback, generous suspension travel, and a torquey V-twin feel over outright top-end speed.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for commuters, passengers, or highway tourers seeking comfort and wind protection.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
