How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for competitive and recreational trials riding, tackling rocks, logs, steep climbs, and technical obstacles at very low speeds with precise throttle and balance control.
- Built for
- A featherweight, high-clearance, torquey little two-stroke designed for millimeter-precise control rather than outright speed, rewarding finesse over aggression.
- Not ideal for
- This is not suitable for anyone wanting a comfortable commuter, a highway tourer, or a bike capable of sustained speed on paved roads.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
