Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist, high-strung machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a peaky two-stroke motard and minimal rider aids.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight, race-bred supermoto for tight technical circuits and aggressive cornering rather than everyday transport.
Rider FitExpect an aggressive, compact riding position with a tall, firm suspension setup and a kick-start only motor that demands an active, fit rider.
CharacterA raw, exotic Italian two-stroke supermoto with premium boutique components, rewarding precise inputs with razor-sharp handling and explosive power delivery.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking comfort, long-distance touring capability, passenger carrying, or a forgiving, low-maintenance daily commuter.
