How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed as a big-bore adventure tourer capable of covering long distances on road while retaining genuine off-road ability thanks to its 19-inch front wheel and long-travel suspension geometry.
- Built for
- Has the raw, torquey, mechanical charm typical of an air-cooled Ducati-derived desmodromic V2, giving it a distinctive soulful feel rather than outright refinement.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking modern liquid-cooled smoothness, sharp sportbike handling, or a lightweight, easy-to-flick city commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
