Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who enjoy a light, flickable bike, since the tall seat height and minimal flywheel mass reward confident clutch and throttle control.
PurposeThis is a supermoto-styled play bike built for sharp cornering, tight city riding, and mixing pavement carving with light off-road excursions rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe tall 910mm seat height and narrow, upright ergonomics favor taller riders comfortable with a dirt-bike-like stance, while the sub-100kg dry weight makes it very manageable at a stop.
CharacterA nimble, single-cylinder motard with dirt-bike DNA, offering sharp handling, strong brakes for its class, and a playful, flickable feel rather than raw power.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or a bike to regularly carry a passenger.
