How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a lightweight, high-clearance single-cylinder enduro machine for trail riding, off-road sport, and occasional dual-sport use rather than outright speed or highway cruising.
- Built for
- It has the raw, thumping character of a classic air-cooled big-bore single, rewarding riders who enjoy mechanical simplicity and torque-driven off-road feel over modern refinement.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for riders wanting a smooth, comfortable long-distance tourer or a fast, stable pillion-friendly road bike.
