Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, top-heavy, single-cylinder supermoto.
PurposeBuilt for sharp cornering, tight technical roads, and supermoto-style thrills rather than straight-line speed or hauling distance.
Rider FitThe very tall seat height, minimal wind protection, and firm long-travel suspension demand a fit, long-legged rider comfortable standing on the pegs.
CharacterA raw, lightweight, single-cylinder hooligan bike that rewards aggressive, playful riding with razor-sharp handling and strong brakes.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, pillion passengers, long highway journeys, or anyone wanting plush, all-day comfort.
