How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a boutique, low-weight Italian special using a Ducati L-twin engine, it's designed primarily for spirited backroad and track-day riding rather than everyday transport.
- Built for
- It rewards the rider with sharp, precise handling and strong low-to-mid range torque from the L-twin, delivering an engaging, visceral connection to the road rather than outright top-end speed.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for someone seeking plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or any kind of off-road versatility.
