Aggressive Raptor style and stance gives maximum performance and excellent, all-day sport-riding ergonomics. Class-exclusive five-speed manual transmission has a gear for almost any terrain. Torquey, durable air-cooled engine puts out plenty of power and starts with the push of a button. Low-profile 19-inch rear tires boast outstanding traction and performance. Longest suspension travel and lowest seat in its class for true sport handling. Lightest weight in its class provides amazingly nimble handling and a great power-to-weight ratio.
Light and powerful 249cc, air-cooled, SOHC, four-stroke single produces a broad, deep powerband. Five-speed gearbox with manual clutch provides the flexibility to tackle pretty much any track or trail. Mikuni 29mm carburetor provides light throttle pull and excellent throttle response across the entire rpm range. Electric starting is standard equipment and works in any gear. DC-CDI ignition system delivers consistent spark at all rpm levels—for quick throttle response and a smooth, broad powerband. Ceramic-composite cylinder liner allows for greatly reduced wear and excellent heat dissipation. Oil cooler keeps engine temps down and lubrication up in hot conditions. Airbox features no-tools air filter access. Three-chamber muffler is light, quiet and boosts low- and midrange performance.
