Default Sport Aviation Airplane

What about the arispeed limitation of Sport category aircraft? I
thought they had to be certified with a cruise speed less than
120knots.

The plane will continue to be a "Utility" category aircraft but
qualifies to be flown by a "Sport" pilot. This is different than the
new "Sport" category of aircraft which are basically Ultralights.
