How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A street-legal enduro built to devour trails, rocks and technical terrain, with just enough road legality to link sections together.
- Built for
- Light, punchy and eager, an SOHC 450 thumper that feels like a competition weapon with a plate - playful off-road, twitchy and buzzy on tarmac.
- Not ideal for
- Not for commuters, tourers, passenger-carriers or short riders; the tiny 9.5L tank, hard seat and knobby tires make sustained road use miserable.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
