Adherence Explanations A Full-sized bike designed specifically for advanced Off Road/Enduro is the only base line that will travers the terrain and obstacles necessary.
A 4 stroke, liquid cooled, 345cc to 360cc motor will provide very specific power delivery with proven reliability
Technology such as Power delivery map switch, Traction control, and Launch control all monitored and controlled by an engine management system (EMS) makes difficult trail situations easier to accomplish and leads to a safer more effective ride.
Full sized tires (Front rim - 21” and Rear rim - 18”) give the rider vastly more control and stability vs smaller counterparts and when combine with Soft enduro tires allows the rider to travers a wide range of terrain and obstacles.
Like any job specific equipment, it is the combinations of characteristics rather than an individual specification that make the most difference. Further, these features together aid a trained rider in maintaining the high, smooth, and immediate power delivery necessary to travers technical terrain with multiple obstacles in a safer and more reliable ride.
Selected options:
· Bark busters/hand guards
· USDA approved Spark Arrestors
Bikes we feel meet these specifications (and our need):
· Gas Gas EX 350F
· KTM 350 XC-F

· Beta RR R.E.
