Best for: Built as a pure motocross-style off-road weapon for trail riding, cross-country racing, and technical terrain rather than street use.
Built for: A sharp, lightweight, high-revving dirt machine that rewards aggressive, active riding and quick directional changes over rocks, jumps, and loose surfaces.
Not ideal for: Not suitable for riders wanting a comfortable road-going commuter, a passenger-friendly machine, or long-distance paved touring.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
