Ready to tackle any path, from urban streets to the most demanding off-road trails, the KTM 690 Enduro R is the definitive weapon for riders who refuse to be limited by terrain. A direct counterpart to its asphalt-carving sibling, the 690 SMC R, this master of versatility is engineered to dominate the dirt and confidently navigate the tarmac in between. Now at Lings Powersports, the KTM 690 Enduro R stands as the undisputed king of dual-sport, blending potent performance, rugged durability, and KTM’s aggressive styling in a lightweight, do-it-all package.
At its heart beats the formidable 692.7 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC LC4 engine, delivering a punchy 74 PS and 73.5 Nm of torque. This powerhouse is managed by a sophisticated ride-by-wire system, offering smooth and responsive power. Paired with a slick six-speed transmission featuring a PASC slipper clutch and Quickshifter+, the 690 Enduro R provides flawless gear changes, whether navigating technical climbs or cruising on the open road.
The foundation of its go-anywhere capability is a robust chromoly tubular space frame, designed for stability and rider feedback. Where the SMC R is tuned for the track, the Enduro R is equipped with long-travel WP XPLOR suspension. The fully adjustable 48 mm inverted front forks and the XPLOR rear monoshock with Pro-Lever linkage both provide an impressive 250 mm of travel, soaking up the harshest bumps and inspiring confidence on any surface.
Braking is powerful and reliable, featuring a Brembo twin-piston floating caliper on a 300 mm front disc and a single-piston Brembo caliper on a 240 mm rear disc. This system is enhanced by Bosch 9.1 MP Cornering ABS with a dedicated Offroad mode, which allows for rear-wheel lock-up while maintaining front-end confidence for aggressive trail riding.
With a dry weight of 146 kg and a tall, commanding seat height of 910 mm, the 690 Enduro R is purpose-built for the serious adventurer who values agility and control. Its off-road-focused geometry, complete with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, ensures exceptional handling and stability in the dirt.
The bike’s aggressive, rally-inspired styling is pure KTM, featuring sharp bodywork, full LED lighting, and the brand’s signature orange livery. A minimalist, functional cockpit with a clear LCD display provides all essential information at a glance. Advanced electronics, including "Street" and "Offroad" ride modes, allow the rider to tailor the bike’s character to the journey ahead, adjusting throttle response and traction control for optimal performance.
The KTM 690 Enduro R is the ultimate machine for riders who hear the call of the wild—a perfect fusion of on-road capability and uncompromising off-road prowess.
