How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for competitive enduro and technical trail riding rather than commuting or highway travel.
- Built for
- A sharp, responsive dirt-focused machine with a peaky high-strung engine character typical of a fuel-injected 250cc off-road four-stroke.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable street commuter, a passenger-friendly bike, or long-distance paved touring.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
