To the already well-known R and RR versions, the Austrian maxi-naked will debut next year a new variant baptized as EVO that will be located halfway between the standard model and the exclusive RR, giving entry for the first time to a package of electronic suspensions according to the Asphaltandrubber.com portal Like most of its big rivals within this segment such as the Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory or the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S (both with the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic suspension system), KTM will abandon the manual adjustments of the WP fork.
