In the video we observe various phases, the synthesis of a job that ranges from the first assembled elements to the installation of the superstructures.
Among the features of the bike are visible a new fairing, a new tank, the new superstructures already mentioned and a new engine protection. The aerodynamic and ergonomic refinement is combined with a marked agility, always keeping safety in mind.
Along with the distinctive color scheme, highlighted features also include a one-piece seat sitting at a height of 880 millimeters and also a choice of software present in the KTM PowerParts catalogue. The DEMO riding mode is highlighted with various driving modes and options to try in the first 1.500 kilometres, in order to decide which package or individual options to connect to the model.

The motorcycle is equipped with a new 5 inch TFT screen which houses the instrumentation with a USB-C connector. The device features color pictograms and graphics that facilitate switching between menus, and a Turn-by-turn Plus navigation system is also mentioned which allows the selection of the favorite destination among the latest destinations. Also highlighted is a new call function for calling a contact in the list consisting of a maximum of 10 favorite numbers, or redoing one of the last 10 already dialed.
From an aesthetic point of view, the bike brings to mind the KTM 450 Rally. The chassis is consistent, considering a chrome-molybdenum steel frame and adjustable WP XPLOR suspension.
The electronic part includes a new generation ABS control unit which can use data from the 6D sensor, evaluating parameters such as pitch and inclination, in order to apply the right braking force in every situation. Off-road you can use the OFFROAD ABS as an integral function of the OFFROAD mode, or you can rely on the optional RALLY mode without separately adopting the OFFROAD ABS.
The heart of the bike is a 889cc parallel twin and the gearbox has six ratios. The power reaches altitude 105 horses (77 kW) at 8.000 rpm and the torque reaches a peak of 100 Nm at 6.500 rpm.
