Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to intermediate and experienced riders who appreciate a raw, mechanical sportbike and can live with committed ergonomics.
PurposeSpirited backroad and canyon carving, occasional track days; a lightweight air-cooled Ducati twin built for flowing corners over straight-line speed.
Rider FitLow 750mm seat, clip-ons and rearsets create a forward, committed crouch. Light 182kg dry with a slim single-seat tail - purposeful and firm.
CharacterFocused, characterful and analogue: torquey desmo L-twin, exclusive Superlight trim with carbon bits and solo seat. Rewards smooth, deliberate riding.
Not Ideal ForNot for beginners, two-up riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone needing long-haul touring or off-road ability.
