The work focuses upon the relativistic and geometric properties of the space--time endowed tentatively with the metric function of the Berwald--Moor type. The zero curvature of indicatrix is a remarkable property of the approach. We demonstrate how the associated geodesic equations can be solved in a transparent way, thereby obtaining possibility to introduce unambiguously the distance, angle, and scalar product. We find convenient indicatrix representation for the associated tetrads and, by attributing to them naturally the general meaning of the bases proper of inertial reference frames, elucidate respective fundamental kinematic relations, including the extensions of Lorentz transformations and velocity subtraction and composition laws. The invariance group for the metric tensor is found.
