Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist supermotard built for experienced riders who understand light, high-strung single-cylinder machines with no rider aids.
PurposeDesigned for supermoto track days and tight, technical circuits mixing tarmac corners with the flickable agility of a motocross-derived chassis.
Rider FitKick-start only, a tall, firm off-road-style seating position, and an aggressive riding stance demand fitness and confidence, with little concession to comfort.
CharacterA raw, race-bred hooligan machine with a titanium-valved 450 single, premium Brembo brakes, and a boutique aluminium frame that rewards aggressive, committed riding.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for beginners, commuters, or anyone seeking comfort, pillion capability, or long-distance touring ability.
