How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a supermoto weapon, it excels at tight, twisty tarmac, flick-flack direction changes, and aggressive cornering rather than any form of relaxed riding.
- Built for
- Raw, minimalist, and razor-sharp, it feels like a motocrosser wearing street tyres, with instant steering response and a hard-edged, mechanical personality.
- Not ideal for
- It is a poor choice for anyone wanting comfort, wind protection, luggage capacity, passenger accommodation, or long-distance touring.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
