The electronic rider aids include traction control, ABS, steering stabiliser, cruise control, hill hold control, and multiple riding modes. The feature list also includes full-LED lighting and a 10.25-inch colour-TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.

The hardware on the motorcycle comprises cast aluminium wheels, Telelever front forks, a monoshock, twin discs at the front, and a single rotor at the back.
