Quick take: what it’s like to ride

• On-road: Linear torque, long gearing, and a planted chassis make the XE a relaxed, charismatic mile-eater. The Stylema brakes offer strong, progressive power, and the IMU keeps things composed when the road gets sketchy.
• Off-road: The 250 mm travel, wide bars, and 21/17 wheels deliver stability and ground clearance on gravel and light trails. Off‑Road Pro mode (with off-road ABS and minimal TC) lets experienced riders exploit the chassis without intrusive electronics.
• Daily use: Cruise control and a refined twin reduce fatigue; the tall 870 mm seat and overall mass are the main considerations in city traffic and tight maneuvers.
