How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It is built as a versatile allround machine, equally at home commuting through town, tackling gravel trails, and covering weekend backroad miles.
- Built for
- Expect a torquey, easygoing single-cylinder feel with predictable handling, forgiving suspension travel, and a scrambler-like willingness to leave the pavement.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the right choice for riders chasing high-speed touring comfort or track-level performance, as its modest power and small fuel tank limit long fast rides.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
