The bike is built around an Inner Pivot Type diamond frame. Shock absorption duties are performed by 41 mm upside down forks and a monoshock. Stopping power comes from a 296 mm single disc with radial mount 4 pot callipers at the front and a 220 mm disc at the back. The safety net of ABS is also available on the motorcycle.

The Indian launch of the motorcycle is unlikely as the premium hardware will make the price uncompetitive.
