the 250 is a 4 stroker at about 30 hp... not a real monster but the 30 hp is enough for a joy ride... the suspension can absolutely not hold 2 persons during a long period, this is a solo bike my friend the two riders are killing the suspension, after only a month of dual riding you have to readjust the suspension and by the time the suspension will become softer and softer...but all light enduro bikes have the same problem, is not the end of the world...
