Tarform Luna Racer Edition sits on a hand-fabricated trellis frame and has a sloping fuel tank-like structure, a rider-only saddle, and a circular headlight. There is a blacked-out finish on the handlebar, footpegs, and swingarm. The bike packs a digital instrument console with support for smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, an all-LED lighting setup, a keyless start system, and a sound generator.

For ensuring the safety of the rider, the Tarform Luna Racer Edition has disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with blind-spot detection, regenerative braking, a 180-degree rear-view camera, and three riding modes. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by telescopic front forks and a shock absorber on the rear end from Ohlins.
In the US, the Tarform Luna Racer Edition carries a price-tag of $24,000 (roughly Rs. 17.5 lakh) and its deliveries will begin this summer. The bike is unlikely to be launched in India.
