Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a supermoto-style single best suited to confident, experienced riders comfortable with a light, twitchy, high-strung machine.
PurposeBuilt for flickable cornering fun, trackday supermoto sessions, and tight technical roads rather than outright top speed or distance covering.
Rider FitIts minimal 117kg dry weight and tall, narrow supermoto stance make it easy to muscle around but demanding of an active, engaged riding position with no wind protection.
CharacterA raw, punchy big-bore single with race-derived running gear that rewards aggressive, precise inputs and punishes lazy riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting all-day comfort, passenger capability, luggage capacity, or a relaxed, forgiving highway cruiser.
