How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built as a supermoto-style street weapon, favoring razor-sharp cornering and rapid acceleration over long-distance comfort or off-road capability despite its trial-adjacent category listing.
- Built for
- It rewards a spirited, thrill-seeking rider who enjoys flickable handling, strong torque, and a raw connection to the machine.
- Not ideal for
- It's not a good fit for beginners, those seeking touring comfort, or riders wanting a plush two-up passenger experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
