How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for serious enduro and trail riding where razor-sharp handling and strong midrange power matter far more than comfort or top-end speed.
- Built for
- A featherweight, high-revving dirt weapon that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs and technical, unpredictable trails.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for commuters, passengers, or anyone wanting a plush, low-maintenance daily road bike.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
