How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A do-it-all naked sportbike aimed at spirited road riding, commuting, and occasional weekend canyon carving rather than pure track or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- Aggressive, torquey, and eager, with a lightweight aluminum Deltabox frame that rewards confident, involved riding while still feeling composed at speed.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for off-road use, complete novices seeking a forgiving first bike, or riders prioritizing plush comfort and wind protection for long highway hauls.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
