How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for long-distance adventure riding that mixes gravel, trails, and highway stretches rather than outright speed or pure pavement performance.
- Built for
- A rugged, no-nonsense adventure companion that rewards a self-reliant, exploration-minded rider over one seeking plush comfort or top-tier acceleration.
- Not ideal for
- Not ideal for shorter riders, pure commuters wanting low seat height and light weight, or speed enthusiasts chasing sportbike-level acceleration and cornering precision.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to usBased on the maker's published fuel consumption and tank size. Official figures come from a gentle lab test - most riders use 10-30% more fuel than this, so expect less range in real riding, and the last litres of a tank are reserve.
