Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Adjustable suspension

    Compression and rebound damping adjustments at both ends let riders tune the suspension, with the rear also offering preload adjustment.

  • Long suspension travel

    The 315 mm of front and rear wheel travel helps the bike absorb rough terrain.

  • Electric start

    The electric starter avoids the need to kick-start the engine.

Things to consider

  • Tall seat

    At 945 mm, the seat height can make getting on and putting a foot down more difficult for shorter riders.

  • Small fuel tank

    The 6.20 liter tank leaves limited fuel onboard for stretches away from refueling.
