Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-steering, high-strung single-cylinder machine.
Purpose	Built for supermoto-style thrills: flicking through tight corners, hooligan street riding, and the occasional trackday on tight, technical circuits.
Rider Fit	The tall 920 mm seat height and slim, light 133 kg dry chassis favor taller or more athletic riders who can confidently manage a top-heavy stance at stops.
Character	A punchy, single-cylinder supermoto with sharp street tires, a rigid sporty stance, and razor-quick handling that rewards an aggressive, playful riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking long-distance comfort, passenger touring, or serious off-road capability.
