How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- This is a dual-sport built primarily for trail riding, technical off-road terrain, and green-lane exploration, with street legality as a practical bonus rather than its main focus.
- Built for
- A raw, mechanical single-cylinder enduro that feels light, torquey at low revs, and eager to be thrown into ruts, gravel, and single-track rather than cruised on smooth tarmac.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting sustained highway speed, plush long-distance comfort, or a bike that carries a passenger with any real comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
