How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for slow, deliberate, characterful riding and light off-road exploring rather than any kind of speed or performance riding.
- Built for
- A quirky, mechanical, old-world machine that rewards patience and rewards riders who enjoy the ritual and attention of vintage-style motoring over outright capability.
- Not ideal for
- Not for riders wanting highway speed, sport handling, or a low-maintenance modern commuting experience.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
