How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day cornering thrills rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- It has the character of a raw, boutique Italian sportbike: a snarling Ducati desmodromic V-twin wrapped in a hand-built, exclusive chassis meant to reward skilled input.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for beginners, tall touring riders, or anyone wanting all-day comfort, pillion practicality, or off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
