Sitting at the core is a 692.7 cc single-cylinder engine, a thumper that punches way above its weight class. It churns out around 74 horsepower, which feels more like a rocket strapped to a bicycle than a sensible enduro. The magic, though, is in the torque—a fat 54 lb-ft available low in the rev range, perfect for clawing up steep hills.
That single cylinder isn’t just about power; it’s a soundtrack. It clatters, thumps, and growls like a caffeinated lawnmower that’s been to the gym. The counterbalancer keeps vibes manageable, but you’ll still feel it in your bones—in the best way, like a back massage from a very aggressive masseuse.
Real talk: this engine loves to rev, but it’s happiest chugging along at moderate speeds on technical trails. It’s a tractor when you need it, a sprinter when you twist the grip.
