Rider Profile

Best ForThis tiny supermotard is best suited to younger or novice riders, or licensed riders looking for a fun, low-stakes second bike, since its 50cc two-stroke engine keeps top speed and power modest.
PurposeIt's built for playful, flickable street and mini-track riding rather than any serious performance or distance work, with its supermotard styling emphasizing sharp handling over outright speed.
Rider FitThe tall-ish 920mm seat height combined with a very light dry weight of just 83kg makes it easy to manage and toss around even for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has the aggressive, upright supermotard stance and flickable chassis of its bigger siblings, packed into a lightweight, approachable, low-displacement package with a 6-speed gearbox for added engagement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for anyone wanting real highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, carrying a passenger, or tackling genuine off-road terrain.
