Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low seat height, manageable weight, and approachable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily for stylish urban cruising and short scenic rides rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts low 690mm seat and light 191kg weight make it easy to handle and flat-foot for riders of most heights and builds.
CharacterA laid-back cruiser with modern liquid-cooled performance, offering relaxed torque and a classic bobber-inspired stance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high-speed touring capability, serious off-road use, or aggressive sport cornering.
