The two-wheeler derives its Gea Green color from the Sián model with strong aluminum wheels finished in gold. Carbon fiber parts have been used in most of its body, starting from radiator covers to the exhaust covers, air intakes, headlights, and mudguards. Enhancing the body with carbon fiber parts has helped make the bike lighter, with an overall weight of 485 pounds.
Powered by a strong 1262cc engine similar to that of the Testastretta Ducati 90 degree V-twin, the motorbike delivers high performance of 162hp at 9500rpm along with a 129Nm of torque. The bike also has a six-axis electronic rider aid by IMU that showcases three modes, namely Urban, Sport, and Touring. The modes help in saving power at different levels. The Urban mode cuts 100hp power while the Touring and Sport modes consume full power. The advanced motorbike also has a bi-directional shifter along with a cornering ABS standard.
