How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-weight, razor-sharp canyon and track weapon rather than a general-purpose motorcycle.
- Built for
- A rare, handcrafted Italian special with Ducati twin-cylinder torque, premium Ohlins and Brembo componentry, and a chassis tuned purely for precision cornering.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up passenger trips.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
