How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for fast, long-distance sport riding that blends autobahn-crushing power with genuine cornering ability.
- Built for
- A muscular, shaft-driven sport bike with a distinctive Duolever front end that trades some steering feedback for stability and low maintenance.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a lightweight, flickable commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
