Best for
Built for serious mixed-terrain adventure and hard enduro riding, with enough V-twin torque to also cover fast open-road transit between trails.
Built for
It has the rangy, torquey, slightly wild personality of a rally-bred big-bore twin that feels most alive standing on the pegs on rough ground.
Not ideal for
This is not the right bike for shorter riders, pure commuters, or anyone wanting plush two-up touring comfort.

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

At 965mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2008 KTM 950 Super Enduro R, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

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.
