The bike costs Rs 3.38 lakh (the same as the standard bike), and it's available for purchase online.

KTM used new suspension with reduced travel at both ends to accomplish the lower seat height.

According to reports, the suspension travel is significantly less than the conventional bike's 170mm (front)/177mm (rear) travel.

As a result, the ground clearance has also decreased, though we are told that it is not significantly so.

In comparison to a standard bike, the compromises made in terms of ground clearance will limit the bikes' off-road capability to some extent.
