How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a street-focused flat-track-inspired roadster, it excels at aggressive canyon carving and urban blasts rather than long-distance touring or off-roading.
- Built for
- It has a punchy, muscular personality with sharp handling, premium Ohlins and Brembo components, and an aggressive Akropovic-backed exhaust note that rewards spirited riding.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for new riders seeking a mellow first bike, or for anyone wanting a comfortable long-haul touring machine or a capable off-road companion.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
