How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily as a street-legal enduro for trail riding and technical off-road use, with road use being a secondary, occasional-use capability.
- Built for
- A raw, high-revving, lightweight dirt machine that rewards aggressive off-road riding and precise rider input rather than relaxed cruising.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable commuter, a highway tourer, or a low, easy-to-manage bike for shorter or less experienced riders.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
