PurposeBuilt primarily for track days and spirited sport riding, with occasional fast road use as a secondary role.
Rider FitThe low, compact seating position combined with a high footpeg and low handlebar setup puts significant weight on wrists and demands good core strength and flexibility.
CharacterA precision-engineered literbike that rewards commitment and skill with razor-sharp cornering ability and explosive top-end performance.
