How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a big-bore desert-style enduro for long-distance off-road travel and open-road cruising rather than outright speed or racetrack use.
- Built for
- A rugged, torquey big single with the character of a classic desert-racer, rewarding a relaxed, steady riding style over aggressive throttle inputs.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for shorter riders, city commuters seeking nimble low-speed handling, or anyone wanting sharp sport-bike acceleration.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
