Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to riders with some two-stroke and small-bike experience, as its tiny capacity demands high revs and active riding to keep momentum.
PurposeIt's built as a lightweight, nimble supermoto for sharp cornering, stunting, and playful street or track-day riding rather than outright speed.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight and tall, slim stance suit a fit, agile rider comfortable standing on pegs and shifting body weight through corners.
CharacterSharp, flickable, and revvy, this bike rewards an aggressive, engaged riding style over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring, long-distance comfort, or effortless passenger carrying.
