How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built for competitive enduro and technical off-road riding rather than street use or leisure cruising.
- Built for
- It has the character of a raw, purpose-built race weapon: light, torquey, and unapologetically focused on dirt performance over comfort.
- Not ideal for
- It's not for beginners, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable, passenger-friendly, or road-touring machine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
