The Arkana is available in three trims: “evolution”, “techno”, and the high-end “esprit Alpine”. Each offers unique elements like satin chrome and dark chrome accents. The aerodynamic blade, a hallmark of the R.S. Line and E-Tech Engineered versions, is now included in the Techno and Esprit Alpine trims, matching the body color in the Techno version and Satin Grey in the Esprit Alpine version.
