Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a light, quick-steering two-stroke that rewards precise input.
PurposeBuilt for supermotard-style fun: sharp handling, hard braking, and flickable cornering on tight roads or track days rather than long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts tall 895 mm seat height and minimal, firm suspension setup favor taller or more agile riders comfortable with an aggressive, standing-friendly riding position.
CharacterA lightweight, high-revving two-stroke supermotard with sharp geometry and premium suspension components, delivering playful, punchy performance rather than outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance daily commuter or a machine for extended highway touring.
