Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding machine best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a light, powerful, and abrupt two-stroke single.
Purpose	Built purely for supermoto-style thrills, this bike excels at flicking between tight corners and attacking twisty tarmac or mixed surfaces.
Rider Fit	The tall 930mm seat height and minimal weight demand an active, fit rider who enjoys standing on the pegs and shifting body weight aggressively.
Character	A raw, race-bred street weapon with razor-sharp handling, explosive acceleration for its class, and almost no concession to comfort.
Not Ideal For	This is not a good fit for a beginner, a taller-riding relaxed commuter, or anyone wanting a comfortable long-distance touring companion.
