What can we help you with?
Thank you, Jim.

Basically whoever had it removed the kickstand but I think the bracket is still there. I am wanting to pick up an older enduro bike to test out some real nasty rocks and hill climbs. In other words, something I won't worry about if it gets kinda wrecked. But I do mainly slow riding. And want soft suspension. I would prefer a 300 but this is what I have located kinda cheap. I am basically wanting to know if this bike is tuned as Enduro (for example a XC-W) or is this more cross country (example KTM XC).

I'm trying to see if it is what I want or sorta what I want. I'm already sacrificing on the 300 to 250 but if it isn't a true enduro and is more cross country I may not get it as I have to put a kickstand, headlight and handguards on it and again looking somewhat of a beater.

Thanks!
