Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a demanding, race-bred superbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive power delivery and committed riding positions. |
| Purpose | Built primarily for spirited track days and fast, technical road riding rather than commuting or long-distance touring. |
| Rider Fit | Expect a low, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and significant wrist and wrist-loading, which can tire riders quickly at low speeds or in traffic. |
| Character | A visceral, torquey V-twin superbike with premium Ohlins suspension and razor-sharp handling that rewards precise, confident inputs. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the right choice for new riders, those seeking upright comfort, or anyone planning frequent passenger or luggage-laden touring. |
