However, the FB Mondial Piega 125 weighs significantly less at 135 kg, while the KTM 125 Duke tips the scales at 159 kg.

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.
