How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Its true wheelhouse is tight, twisty roads and urban streets where a supermoto's light weight and sharp steering shine over raw speed.
- Built for
- It has a flickable, playful, dirt-bike-derived character that rewards aggressive lean angles and quick direction changes over long-distance cruising.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for riders wanting high-speed highway touring, heavy luggage capacity, or strong passenger comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
