Best for
It exists purely to carve up tight tarmac circuits and technical mixed-surface courses with razor-sharp direction changes, not to cover distance or haul gear.
Built for
Expect an explosive, visceral character with instant throttle response, flickable handling, and a chassis that thrives on aggressive lean angles and hard braking into corners.
Not ideal for
This bike is not for beginners, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, wind protection, or long-distance touring capability.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
