How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a dedicated closed-course and trail enduro weapon, excelling at technical off-road terrain, motocross-adjacent trails, and cross-country racing.
- 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.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
