How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a lightweight enduro-style commuter or trail nibbler rather than a serious offroad or speed machine.
- Built for
- A nimble, buzzy little two-stroke that rewards revving over raw torque, with playful low-speed handling and modest long-distance capability.
- Not ideal for
- Not suitable for riders seeking sustained highway speeds, heavy touring loads, or genuine technical offroad performance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
