How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It is best suited to short urban hops and light supermotard-style fun rather than serious speed or distance riding.
- Built for
- It has a light, flickable, playful feel typical of small-displacement supermotard-styled bikes rather than raw power or stability.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right bike for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
