Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a specialist supermono built for experienced riders comfortable with sharp, race-oriented handling and a high-strung single-cylinder powerplant.
PurposeIt is purpose-built for trackdays and aggressive cornering rather than commuting, distance riding, or off-road use.
Rider FitThe tiny 120 kg dry weight, high 890 mm seat, and committed sportbike ergonomics demand a fit, agile rider comfortable with an aggressive riding position.
CharacterExotic Italian engineering, premium Ohlins suspension, radial brakes, and a big-bore single give it a raw, visceral, and highly focused character.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to riders wanting comfort, passenger capability, long-range touring range, or a relaxed everyday ride.
