How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a long-haul adventure machine that genuinely goes off-road, with the big fuel tank, comfort-oriented ergonomics, and Adventure Sports-specific windscreen and suspension travel to back it up.
- Built for
- A capable, torquey twin with a rugged steel frame and long-travel suspension that rewards a relaxed, exploratory riding style over aggressive sport-focused riding.
- Not ideal for
- Not ideal for shorter riders, strict city commuters wanting a light nimble bike, or anyone chasing sportbike-level speed and cornering sharpness.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
