The large 21L fuel tank and ECU settings provide excellent fuel economy, extending the time between refueling and expanding the range of touring activities.In addition, the combination of long-stroke suspension and sporty 17-inch wheels front and rear provides high off-road performance in a wide range of situations, from on-road driving to light off-road driving.

Latest technology and smart features

The instrument panel is luxurious, combining an analog tachometer with a full-color TFT LCD display incorporating cutting-edge technology, providing clear visibility of all the information the rider needs.

Of particular note is the ability to connect to the smartphone app “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE,” which has a new linking function via voice commands. A navigation function has also been newly added, improving convenience in a variety of riding situations.

Furthermore, it comes standard with a USB Type-C port, ETC2.0, a helmet lock, and other features, making it useful in a wide range of situations, from everyday use to touring.

High-quality appearance and fun customization

The exterior is partially coated with a special highly durable paint that repairs scratches by itself, allowing for a high-quality appearance to be maintained (deep scratches cannot be repaired). The car is available in one color: Metallic Graphite Gray x Metallic Diablo Black.

Additionally, a wide range of accessories (sold separately) are available, including pannier cases and top cases that can be installed at the same time, allowing riders to customize the appearance to their liking and enjoy even more comfortable touring.
