How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A sport-touring allrounder designed for spirited road riding, twisty backroads, and light touring rather than raw top-speed performance or serious off-road work.
- Built for
- Feels like a nimble, torque-rich V-twin with premium suspension that rewards confident cornering input and delivers engaging, connected feedback.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking genuine off-road capability, high-speed track performance, or a plush, low-effort long-distance cruiser experience.
