IT’S THE REAL DEAL
» THE NAMES Big brands? You get Bosch, KYB, Pirelli tyres, and J.juan brakes – they’re owned by Brembo and WSB legend Jonathan Rea has their logo on his leathers.
» RIGHT BITS ABS, cruise control, riding modes? Yes. The CL-X also has adjustable suspension, lots of dash data, ‘adaptive’ daytime riding lights and LEDS.
» WELL MADE There’s a hint of rust on the front brake disc after winter, but there would be on many £20k bikes too. For a £6k bike the finish stands up very well.
