Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for aggressive canyon carving and trackday-style riding rather than practical transportation, rewarding a rider who wants razor-sharp handling over outright grunt.
- Built for
- A frantic, high-revving screamer of a bike that thrives on being thrashed near redline and rewards precise, committed inputs through corners.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting relaxed comfort, long-distance touring capability, passenger practicality, or any off-road use.
