Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a light, sharp-steering, high-strung supermoto with minimal margin for error.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive cornering, tight technical roads, and supermoto-style track days rather than straight-line speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts tall seat height and minimal weight demand rider confidence and reasonable leg length, though the low dry weight makes it easy to muscle around at a stop.
CharacterA featherweight, high-revving V2 supermoto that rewards precise, committed riding with razor-sharp handling and explosive power-to-weight response.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, passenger accommodation, or a relaxed touring machine.
