The Karakal Tribal SL 125. Looks like this came out in 2011. Longer in the tooth, but deadly as any.

How we measure

Power and control scores derive from manufacturer 1–10 ratings when published, normalized to our 0–100 catalog scale.

Maneuver scores weight strung mass and balance point against the full catalog distribution.

Missing metrics stay blank — we do not invent lab numbers.
