- Built for
- It rewards an aggressive, momentum-based riding style with sharp throttle response and a light, flickable feel through single-track and technical obstacles.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for riders wanting a comfortable commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long paved-highway touring.
