Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable with a tall, powerful, and very responsive single-cylinder supermoto.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive cornering, supermoto-style street attack, and tight technical riding rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe 899mm seat height and light 153.5kg weight demand rider confidence but reward with exceptional flickability once underway.
CharacterA raw, punchy big-bore single with sharp handling, strong midrange torque, and an aggressive, minimalist supermoto personality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, pillion capability, or relaxed long-haul touring.
