Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-strung single that rewards experienced riders comfortable with an aggressive, twitchy supermoto chassis.
PurposeBuilt for supermoto track days and razor-sharp tarmac cornering, not for distance or utility riding.
Rider FitThe tall 915mm seat height, firm long-travel suspension, and thumping single-cylinder vibration demand a fit, confident rider.
CharacterRaw, punchy, and eager to flick side to side, this bike has the personality of a dirt bike wearing street tires.
Not Ideal ForIt is a poor choice for new riders, passengers, highway touring, or anyone wanting a plush, low-maintenance daily commuter.
