Beyond the striking new color options, the 2026 model is distinguished by its generously sized semi-fairing, which integrates the rearview mirrors.

The spacious seat height is 795 mm. Despite its minimalist approach, the bike includes a digital instrument panel with connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
