Common questions

How do I know it’s the right size?

Your rider should be able to reach the ground comfortably and handle the bike’s weight. It’s the single biggest factor in confidence. Bring them in and have them sit on a few; it takes five minutes and saves guessing.

What gear does my rider need?

A properly fitted helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and protective clothing, plus supervision. We can help fit gear in the store.

Can the TT-R230 be ridden on the street?

No. It’s built for off-road use only, with no lights, mirrors or street certification. Plan on private land, a track or a designated off-road area, and a helmet and proper riding gear every time.
