Tier C · #22

A petrol-electric hybrid with an automatic mode, electric-only crawl, e-boost overtakes and walk assist. A genuinely different take on clutchless riding.

The future of automatics, sampled early.
On the road

Heavier than its capacity suggests, but the hybrid drivetrain gives silent electric pull-aways and a useful shove of e-boost for overtakes. It's a genuinely novel riding experience.

The automatic bit

An automatic mode shifts for you, an EV-only mode crawls in silence, and walk assist shuffles it around the garage — a real glimpse of where clutchless tech might be heading.

Living with it

Clever and fascinating, but complex and pricey for the performance on offer. This is a bike for early adopters curious about hybrid two-wheelers rather than value-seekers.

The verdict

More science experiment than sales chart-topper, but fascinating: silent EV pull-aways, automatic shifts and a shove of e-boost. The future, sampled early.
