How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a fun, nimble street-oriented supermoto for tight roads, urban commuting, and playful backroad riding rather than outright speed or long-distance travel.
- Built for
- A cheeky, flickable small-bore supermoto that rewards momentum-based riding, tight cornering lines, and playful throttle use over raw horsepower.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders wanting highway speed, long-haul touring comfort, or serious off-road capability given its road-biased 17 inch wheels and modest single-cylinder engine.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
