This Austrian supersport nameplate first appeared for the 2014 model year and was developed to bring a compact, race-inspired fairing bike into the street lineup. It launched around a lightweight single-cylinder platform and quickly established itself as the brand’s core fully faired road-racing family, aimed at riders who wanted sharp handling, aggressive styling, and an accessible entry into the sportbike world. Early attention centered on the 390-class machine, which also became the basis for one-make racing and cup competition programs that helped reinforce its track-focused image.
Over time, the nameplate broadened beyond its original flagship displacement to cover smaller-capacity versions for additional markets, making it a family rather than a single model. That evolution kept the same basic mission: a practical street bike with clear supersport styling, strong visual ties to the company’s factory racing identity, and enough everyday usability to appeal beyond pure track-day riders. The range’s design language leaned heavily on MotoGP and Moto3 influences, helping it stand out from more conservative entry-level faired motorcycles.
A major redesign arrived for the 2022 model year, marking a clear new generation. That update brought revised bodywork, a more modern chassis concept, improved ergonomics, and updated electronics, while preserving the lightweight, aggressive character that had defined the nameplate since its debut. The line remained in production through the mid-2020s, continuing as the manufacturer’s dedicated road-going supersport offering and one of the most recognizable small-displacement sportbike families in the market.
