How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It exists purely for motocross track competition and off-road training, designed to teach race craft on a machine sized appropriately for smaller riders.
- Built for
- The two-stroke 84cc engine paired with fully adjustable long-travel suspension gives a peaky, revvy, eager character that rewards aggressive clutch and throttle use on the track.
- Not ideal for
- This is not suitable for adult commuting, road use, touring, or carrying passengers, as it lacks lights, road certification, and adult-appropriate ergonomics and power.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
