This version of KTM is equipped with ABS by German biggie Bosch to provide maximum comfort as well as protection even in muddy or curvy hilly roads. In India, it would get optional ABS unit that can be switched on or off by the rider. The rest of the hardware will remain the same as the younger sibling’s except of course the engine.
