Rider Profile
| Best For | For expert riders only. Its 240hp supercharged engine demands serious skill, respect and electronic-aid awareness; not remotely a machine for novices. |
| Purpose | A supercharged hyperbike built for outright speed, ferocious acceleration and high-speed sport riding on track days and open roads. |
| Rider Fit | Committed sport ergonomics: 825mm seat, low clip-ons, rear-set pegs and a 238kg heft. Aggressive lean-forward stance that punishes low-speed slogs. |
| Character | A brutally fast, intoxicating showpiece with signature supercharger whine, top-tier Brembo/Ohlins hardware and mirror-black paint. Raw, exclusive and theatrical. |
| Not Ideal For | Beginners, commuters, off-roaders, or anyone wanting relaxed touring, easy city runs or comfortable two-up riding. |
