Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who can appreciate its unconventional RADD front suspension and substantial weight.
PurposeDesigned as a comfortable, stable sport tourer for covering long distances with confidence rather than chasing outright speed or track thrills.
Rider FitA tall and fairly heavy machine that rewards riders of average-to-above-average height and strength when maneuvering at low speeds.
CharacterAn engineering curiosity with a smooth, torquey inline-four and a hub-center steering front end that delivers a uniquely planted, unshaken ride.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for aggressive canyon carving or off-road excursions.
