How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for motocross and off-road competition, excelling at jumps, whoops, and hard-charging track or trail riding rather than any road use.
- Built for
- A sharp, high-strung, factory-inspired thumper that rewards aggressive input with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp cornering agility.
- Not ideal for
- This bike is not for commuters, passengers, touring riders, or anyone seeking a comfortable, road-legal, or beginner-friendly machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
