- Built for
- Light, nimble, and torquey, it rewards aggressive, standing-up riding with sharp cornering response and confidence over rough, unpredictable terrain.
- Not ideal for
- It is a poor choice for daily commuting, highway touring, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking plush comfort and low seat height.
