KTM 690 Rally

Sliding from the tarmac into the rough with unflinching confidence, the KTM 690 RALLY stands as the ultimate lightweight long-distance travel machine. Inspired by KTM’s Rally Raid heritage, the 2027 model delivers factory-built capability to riders who want to travel beyond the familiar.

Now available at Lings Powersports, the 2027 KTM 690 Rally blends uncompromising dirt-bike agility with genuine long-range capability, featuring a dedicated rally tower, additional front fuel tanks, a proven LC4 single-cylinder engine, and the latest generation of rider-assist technology.

At its heart beats the legendary 692.7 cc LC4 SOHC single—delivering an impressive 79 PS (58.1 kW) and 73 Nm of torque. Paired with a ride-by-wire throttle, a 6-speed transmission, PASC slipper clutch, and optional Quickshifter+, the Rally provides reliable, long-distance performance whether crawling through technical terrain or hammering along fast liaison sections.

The precision-engineered trellis frame and slim rally-inspired bodywork deliver a nimble yet planted feel. The chassis is suspended by premium WP XPLOR suspension—a 48 mm USD front fork with 265 mm travel and a fully adjustable rear monoshock with Pro-Lever linkage and 250 mm travel, allowing riders to adapt precisely to any terrain.

Braking performance is managed by Brembo components: a 300 mm front disc with a twin-piston floating caliper and a 240 mm rear disc, aided by Cornering ABS with a dedicated Off-road mode that allows rear-wheel deactivation for improved control on loose surfaces and steep descents.

Ergonomics are designed for freedom of movement with a slim seat (height 935 mm), "no-dirt" footpegs, and a factory-developed rally tower with an integrated windshield to reduce fatigue. Dual front fuel tanks work together with the rear subframe tank to offer a massive 20-litre capacity, providing true extended range.

The 2027 model debuts a compact 4.2″ full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity (KTMconnect) for calls, music, turn-by-turn navigation, and integrated USB-C charging. Three ride modes—Street, Off-road, and optional Rally (featuring Dynamic Slip Adjust)—combine with cornering traction control to optimize grip in any condition.

From fast desert crossings to remote, multi-day explorations, the KTM 690 Rally’s combination of torque-rich power, factory rally integration, and modern rider aids makes it the ultimate go-anywhere adventure motorcycle.
