How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A big-bore desmodromic V-twin enduro built for mixed on- and off-road adventure riding rather than outright speed or track use.
- Built for
- Rugged, characterful, and mechanically engaging, rewarding riders who enjoy a raw, air-cooled V-twin with genuine off-road pedigree.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking modern sportbike performance, plush touring comfort, or a light, low-maintenance commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
