KTM's profilation of this bike |
Sharper and lighter than anything that calls itself competition: 120 Nm torque, 155 HP at 10,000 rpm and withs less than 200 kilos fully tanked. Nonetheless, thanks to innovative solutions and meticulous detail work, we´ve achieved unsurpassed rideability - on the street and on the racetrack, in every situation - of life or riding. |
