Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a supermoto best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-steering, tall single-cylinder machine.
PurposeBuilt for sharp cornering, tight technical roads, and track-day supermoto fun rather than covering long distances or hauling gear.
Rider FitThe tall 880 mm seat height and minimal, firm suspension travel-focused seat demand a taller rider or one comfortable with an aggressive, feet-up riding stance.
CharacterA lightweight, big-bore single with premium Paioli and Sachs suspension and Brembo brakes, delivering punchy, playful handling and strong feedback for aggressive riders.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a plush, low, easy-going commuter or a machine capable of comfortable extended touring with a passenger.
