Best for
Built for serious enduro and cross-country off-road riding rather than road use, blending motocross-derived performance with just enough road-legal equipment to link trails.
Built for
Raw, torquey, and purpose-built, this machine rewards aggressive, skilled riding with sharp handling and strong off-road capability rather than comfort or refinement.
Not ideal for
This is not a good fit for beginners, shorter riders, or anyone wanting a comfortable, low-maintenance road or touring bike.

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

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
