Looking at the spec sheet, 25hp from a single, compared with the current lineup this number lands right in the gap between R15 and R3. A Y-Connect app and a Deltabox frame on top of that, that's the part that gets me. Depending on pricing this could reshape the entry-level field.

What does TCS even stand for? First time hearing it

Traction control, electronic anti-slip system

25hp, feels barely different from the R15 tbh

The Deltabox frame changes things, gotta look past the number
