Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to riders from intermediate to advanced who enjoy flicking a light, supermoto-style bike through tight turns.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a nimble supermoto for sharp cornering, urban darting, and playful backroad riding rather than long-distance travel or serious off-roading.
Rider FitIts low wet weight of 138 kg and manageable 860 mm seat height make it approachable for shorter or lighter riders, though the tall-ish stance still favors those with reasonable inseam length.
CharacterLight, flickable, and eager to change direction, this bike rewards an aggressive, playful riding style over sheer top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a great match for riders wanting genuine off-road capability, high-speed touring comfort, or a two-up long-haul mount.
