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