The key features and equipment listed on the model include the use of a non-adjustable upside-down fork which is backed up with a rear monoshock. For braking, it uses discs at either end with a single-channel ABS. It sports a colour TFT dash as well as full-LED lighting too.

In terms of pricing, the Piega 125 costs EUR 4,400 (approx. 3.66 lakh), which makes it slightly more affordable than the European-spec KTM 125 Duke which has been priced at EUR 5,450. It is unlikely to be introduced in the Indian market anytime soon.
