Rider Profile

Best ForNote: despite being labeled Trial category, this machine's supermoto-style 17-inch wheels, road tyres, and Beringer/Brembo brakes indicate a supermoto or street-tracker build rather than a trials bike, and it demands an experienced rider comfortable with
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad carving, supermoto-style track days, and thrilling short blasts rather than long-distance travel or technical off-road work.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight paired with strong torque means it rewards active, confident body positioning but won't punish smaller or less muscular riders thanks to its light overall mass.
CharacterA raw, high-strung V-twin street weapon that prioritizes razor-sharp handling and explosive acceleration over creature comforts.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, highway commuters seeking comfort, genuine off-road trail riding, or anyone planning to carry a passenger regularly.
