The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Most affordable way into a genuine KTM in India, with real sharp naked-streetfighter styling
  • 6-speed gearbox is genuine premium hardware rarely offered at this displacement

Worth knowing

  • Single-channel ABS only, no dual-channel option
  • Real ride quality is genuinely firm, KTMs signature sporty tune trades some comfort
