Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders comfortable with a tall, top-heavy single-cylinder adventure bike.
PurposeA big-bore dual-sport built for long-distance off-road adventure riding and rugged terrain exploration with light touring capability.
Rider FitThe tall 945mm seat height and 158kg dry weight demand decent rider height and strength, especially in technical off-road situations.
CharacterA torquey, characterful thumper that rewards riders who enjoy raw mechanical feel over refinement and outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, pure pavement commuters, or anyone seeking smooth multi-cylinder refinement and high top-end power.
