How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Designed for playful, minibike-style supermoto fun on tight tracks, car parks, and short twisty roads rather than serious transportation.
- Built for
- A nimble, high-revving two-stroke minimoto that rewards aggressive throttle and brake inputs with sharp, flickable handling in tight corners.
- Not ideal for
- Not suitable for riders wanting sustained highway speed, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or genuine off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

A good option if it matches the way you ride.
