How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for serious off-road exploration and long-distance overlanding, tackling gravel, sand and rocky trails while remaining capable of paved highway transit between adventures.
- Built for
- A hardcore, rally-bred middleweight ADV: light, punchy 889cc twin, WP XPLOR suspension and 21"/18" spoked wheels give it near-dirtbike off-road ability with touring range.
- Not ideal for
- Not for short riders, timid beginners, track-day fans, or those wanting a plush comfort-focused road tourer or an easy low-seat commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
