The KTM 890 Duke Tech3 Edition is available only in France.
Features an Akrapovic exhaust, pillion seat cowl and a belly pan, apart from the MotoGP-inspired livery.
Costs an equivalent of Rs 1.17 lakh over the standard 890 Duke.
KTM has launched a limited edition variant of the 890 Duke, called the KTM 890 Duke Tech3 Edition, in France. As the name suggests, it is a Tech3 KTM Factory Racing team-themed edition of the standard 890 Duke, limited to just 100 units. The motorcycle costs 11,699 Euros, around Rs 10.54 lakh, making it about Rs 1.17 lakh dearer than the standard model.
The 2021 KTM RC16 racebike’s Tech3 MotoGP livery looks simple yet elegant. The limited edition KTM 890 Duke gets the same livery on its bodywork, along with ‘Ready To Race’ stickering just below the fuel tank. The bike also gets a Tech3-branded pillion cowl with a small cushioned rider’s backrest, and a belly pan, which, to be frank, looks more like an afterthought.
