KTM 690 Enduro R

Sliding from the tarmac into the rough with unflinching confidence, the KTM 690 Enduro R stands as the ultimate large-capacity dual-sport weapon. Combining KTM’s rally-proven off-road pedigree with long-distance touring capability, the 2026 model is sharper, more refined, and more connected than ever before.

Now available at Lings Powersports, the 2026 KTM 690 Enduro R blends uncompromising dirt-bike agility with real-world versatility, delivering long-legged suspension, a re-engineered LC4 single-cylinder engine, and the latest generation of rider-assist technology.

At its heart beats the updated 693 cc LC4 SOHC single—over 50% of internal components redesigned for smoother power delivery and increased torque over the previous 73.5 Nm figure. Paired with a ride-by-wire throttle, a 6-speed transmission, PASC slipper clutch, and Quickshifter+, the Enduro R provides responsive power whether crawling through technical terrain or hammering along an open trail.

The precision-engineered trellis frame and lightweight subframe deliver a nimble yet planted feel, while WP XPLOR suspension—fully adjustable with 250 mm travel front and rear—absorbs the harshest terrain.

Braking performance is managed by Brembo components: a 300 mm front disc with a twin-piston caliper and a 240 mm rear disc, aided by Bosch 9.3 MP Cornering ABS with off-road mode and an easy left-bar ABS toggle switch.

Ergonomics are improved with a slim seat (height 929 mm), new bodywork for better control, and a fuel tank integrated into the subframe, offering 13.5 L capacity for long rides.

The 2026 model debuts a 4.2″ full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity for calls, music, turn-by-turn navigation, and a USB-C port. Three ride modes—Street, Off-road, and optional Rally—combine with cornering traction control and Motor-Slip Regulation for optimum grip in any condition.

From urban commutes to multi-day desert adventures, the KTM 690 Enduro R’s combination of torque-rich power, championship-level chassis, and modern rider aids makes it the ultimate go-anywhere motorcycle.
