Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for new or learner-permit riders thanks to its small-capacity single-cylinder engine and manageable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a lightweight, stylish urban naked bike for commuting and short trips rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low 805mm seat height and 145kg wet weight make it easy to handle for riders of most heights and lighter builds.
CharacterA sharp-looking, modern naked bike with sporty styling that punches above its practical, entry-level commuter role.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to highway touring, high-speed cruising, or off-road use given its modest power and street-oriented tyres.
