How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a dedicated enduro/trail machine for tackling trails, fire roads, and technical off-road terrain rather than for speed or long-distance pavement travel.
- Built for
- A lightweight, torquey, no-frills single-cylinder dirt bike that thrives on flickable handling and long-travel suspension over raw power or refinement.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting highway comfort, passenger accommodation, or a bike optimized for daily commuting on paved roads.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
