Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a tall, light, torquey single that demands active input.
PurposeBuilt for supermoto thrills, flickable cornering and sharp handling on tight twisty roads or track days rather than covering long distances.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and lightweight but top-heavy single-cylinder feel favor taller, physically fit riders who can manage a firm, narrow perch and strong engine vibration.
CharacterA raw, punchy, big-bore single with supermoto DNA that rewards aggressive, playful riding and rider skill over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or a low, easy-reach seat height.
