PurposeA pure sport superbike for track days, canyon carving and spirited road riding where outright speed and precision are the priority.
Rider FitAggressive, committed riding posture with clip-ons and rearsets, 831mm seat and firm sport suspension. Light 197kg wet, compact and racy.
CharacterA ferocious, high-revving inline-four with electronic wizardry and MotoGP-derived aero. Explosive, focused and thrilling at the very top of its class.
Not Ideal ForBeginners, comfort-seekers, two-up tourers or anyone wanting relaxed daily commuting. No off-road ability whatsoever.
