What we actually found

Owners describe the 800X Pro as a game-changer that shatters middleweight weight expectations. At just 185kg wet with a full 20-litre tank, riders report that it feels as light and flickable as a big single while delivering 95hp of twin-cylinder power. With 275mm of clearance and 240mm KYB suspension, it conquers technical green lanes with ease, though owners mention initial throttle response off idle can feel snatchy.

Pros for green laning

• Class-leading low weight: weighs just 185kg fully fuelled, making it 25-45kg lighter than almost every other twin-cylinder adventure bike on the market.
• Massive 275mm ground clearance: 240mm of fully adjustable KYB suspension travel clears deep ruts, boulders, and washouts cleanly.
• Full 21"/18" tubeless spoked wheels: provides access to all aggressive enduro tyres with the convenience of roadside tubeless puncture repairs.
• Potent 95hp twin: strong 80Nm of torque delivers rapid road-transit acceleration and instant front-wheel lift over trail obstacles.

Cons and limitations

• Tall 865mm seat height: combined with a tall stance, touching down in deep ruts requires balance and confidence from shorter riders.
• Abrupt low-rpm throttle response: initial on/off fueling right off idle can feel snatchy during slow, technical first-gear crawling.
• Firm, flat rally seat: minimal seat padding makes long motorway link sections between lane clusters physically firm on the rider.
• Smaller dealer network: an emerging manufacturer with a smaller UK dealer and parts distribution footprint compared to legacy brands.
