How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for trail riding, technical enduro sections, and off-road competition rather than any road-going use.
- Built for
- A punchy, high-revving single-cylinder off-roader with long-travel adjustable Showa suspension that rewards aggressive, active riding over rough terrain.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a highway tourer, or a machine that can easily carry a passenger.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
