Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a specialist machine best suited to experienced riders who already understand light, twitchy motorcycles and can manage a punchy single-cylinder powerband. |
| Purpose | Built as a supermoto weapon, it excels at tight, twisty tarmac, flick-flack direction changes, and aggressive cornering rather than any form of relaxed riding. |
| Rider Fit | At around 110 kg dry with a tall 855 mm seat, it demands an active, standing-capable riding style and rewards riders who are fit and comfortable shifting body weight constantly. |
| Character | Raw, minimalist, and razor-sharp, it feels like a motocrosser wearing street tyres, with instant steering response and a hard-edged, mechanical personality. |
| Not Ideal For | It is a poor choice for anyone wanting comfort, wind protection, luggage capacity, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring. |
