How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle everything from motorway slabs to gravel trails and light off-road tracks.
- Built for
- A refined, torquey triple-cylinder engine gives smooth, confident power delivery with a distinctive engine note, paired with premium WP suspension and full electronic rider aids.
- Not ideal for
- Not the ideal choice for riders wanting a lightweight city commuter or a track-focused sportbike, as its adventure-touring proportions and setup prioritize comfort and versatility over outright speed and razor-sharp handling.
