Ryobi's answer to a question nobody expected 18 volts to answer: a 14-inch bar, a 24-inch cut capacity, and a claimed 100-plus cuts on the 6.0Ah pack that ships with it. It is the most capable saw on the ONE+ platform by a wide margin — the 12-inch Whisper and the 10-inch HP both sit a tier below — and it exists because the ONE+ battery is the one tens of millions of American garages already have on a shelf. The physics still apply at the top end: 18 volts through 14 inches of full .050-gauge chain means patience in hardwood, and the big pack is doing the heavy lifting, so a 2.0Ah battery turns it into a different and much worse saw. For someone choosing between buying into 40V and using what they own, this is the first ONE+ chainsaw where that is a real choice rather than a compromise.

Best for: ONE+ owners with 6.0Ah packs who want a real cleanup saw without starting a second battery platform.

Manufacturer figures except the engine class and single-pass cut, which are derived here. What each spec means

14-in bar on 18V ONE+
Claimed 100+ cuts on the 6.0Ah
24-in cut capacity

Where it is strong

Longest bar and largest cut capacity Ryobi has put on the 18V ONE+ platform
Ships with a 6.0Ah pack rather than the token 2.0Ah in cheaper ONE+ kits
Full .050-gauge 52-link chain, the same size as Ryobi's 14-inch gas and 40V saws
Runs on the most widely owned battery platform in American garages

Where it falls short

18 volts is still 18 volts — hardwood near the bar's capacity is slow going
Runtime claim depends entirely on the 6.0Ah pack; small ONE+ batteries cripple it
The published 10.4 lb is the bare tool; the 6.0Ah pack the runtime claim depends on is extra weight on top
At $259 it costs within $40 of the far more powerful 40V 16-inch kit
