Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, powerful, and physically demanding adventure machine.
PurposeBuilt as a serious long-distance off-road adventure bike that can tackle rough terrain while still covering big miles on pavement.
Rider FitThe 890mm seat height, 217kg dry weight, and long-travel suspension make it a tall, top-heavy bike that demands strong legs and confidence at low speed, especially off-road.
CharacterA rugged, torque-rich V-twin adventure bike with genuine off-road credentials, electronic rider aids, and enough power for confident overtakes and highway cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, absolute beginners, or anyone wanting a light, low, easy-to-manage commuter bike.
