HIGHLIGHTS

LOW MAINTENAINCE ENGINE

Air-cooled, 49 cc, reed-valve, 2-stroke single is mildly tuned to deliver predictable power that gently eases the new rider up the off-road learning curve.

COMFORTABLE SEAT HEIGHT

A class-lowest 485 mm (19.1") seat height creates a handling-enhancing low centre of gravity and allows most riders to put both feet on the ground for added confidence.​

ADJUSTABLE RESTRICTOR

An adjustable throttle stop screw keeps a learning rider in charge to gradually increase their speed as skills improve and confidence boosts.
