The special edition model gets Tech3 MotoGP livery along with a belly pan, a cowl for the rear seat and a new Akrapovic exhaust. But apart from that, the motorcycle stays more or less the same. The motorcycle is built on a Chromium-Molybdenum steel frame with an Aluminium sub-frame, which is stiffly set for a sporty feel. The engine too is a stressed member of the chassis. The motorcycle gets the LC8 parallel-twin engine which displaces 889 cc and makes 113 bhp along with 92 Nm, which is 6 bhp and 7 Nm less than what the KTM 890 Duke R produces.
