Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders comfortable with a light, punchy, single-cylinder machine that demands active input and rewards precise throttle and body control.
PurposeBuilt as a supermoto weapon, it excels at flickable, aggressive cornering on tight roads and tracks rather than covering long distances in comfort.
Rider FitWith a very low dry weight of 120 kg and a tall, minimal seat setup typical of motard bikes, riders need decent fitness and confidence to manage its sharp, top-heavy-feeling handling at low speed.
CharacterIt has the character of a raw, race-bred hooligan machine: light, torquey off idle, eager to wheelie and slide, and most alive when ridden hard through corners.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for riders wanting plush comfort, long-distance touring capability, passenger carrying, or a forgiving, low-maintenance daily commuter.
