Features

ENGINE & EXHAUST
The latest 690 LC4 engine is all about smooth, powerful performance to propel you effortlessly up, down, through, around and over the many types of terrain that you may encounter on this bike. Every aspect of the LC4 engine design is constructed to provide a consistent and confidence-inspiring riding experience.

ENGINE
The engine combines powerful acceleration from the very lowest revs with an outstanding free-revving nature and refined engine running. Another big plus: It’s extremely economical with fuel.

EXHAUST
STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST
The exhaust system is made using high-quality stainless steel. It’s routed as close as possible to the bike to help with the slim profile, and the exhaust shape has been optimised for hard offroad usage.

CHASSIS
Blasting down remote winding streets, tearing along gravel roads and exploring single-track are all improved on the new 690 ENDURO R thanks to a completely new chassis with WP XPLOR suspension and heavy duty offroad wheels.

FRAME
MASTER THE RIDE
The frame is manufactured from lightweight sections of top-quality chrome-molybdenum steel tubing of varying thicknesses. This type of balanced frame design provides high torsional rigidity for best handling and rideability, while a more specifically-tuned longitudinal flexibility can absorb the wheel impact energy, supporting the suspension for reduced rider fatigue.

SUSPENSION
PRECISE HANDLING
Highly rigid forged triple clamps with an offset of 24 mm (adjustable to 22 mm), provide a solid grip on the forks for precise handling. They allow forwards and backwards adjustment of the handlebars in four different positions for optimum rider ergonomics.

WHEELS & TYRES
BUILT TO LAST
The KTM wheels use lightweight, CNC-machined hubs and high-end 21” and 18” rims to combine maximum strength with minimum weight. They’re fitted with Mitas E07 tyres – a great offroad tyre that offers excellent grip and will last a long time.

BRAKES
CLASS-LEADING BRAKES
Sublime class-leading BREMBO brakes combined with lightweight wave discs – 300 mm diameter front and 240 mm on the rear wheel – to provide a crucial combination of stopping power and a consitent brake feel.

FUEL TANK
AMPLE FUEL, OPTIMUM FEEL
The large fuel tank has a capacity of 13.5 litres. It is also a load bearing part of the chassis, making it stiffer for optimal feeling and control.

ERGONOMICS & COMFORT
The 690 ENDURO R’s ergonomics reflect KTM’s READY TO RACE design philosophy. It’s now much slimmer with a more aggressive feel. The seat height has been lowered without sacrificing ground clearance. This, along with new rubber-mounted lightweight handlebars, enhances overall rider comfort and control.

HANDLEBAR
OPTIMUM CONTROL
The lightweight tapered 808 mm wide handlebars are rubber mounted to reduce vibrations. Their width and shape are aimed at providing maximum control in all situations.

FOOTPEGS
NO DIRT FOOTPEGS
Sophisticated ‘No Dirt’ footpegs prevent jamming up of the pegs, even when digging your way through deep ruts or navigating wet terrain. Rubber inserts can be mounted for street use to help reduce any vibration that might be felt through the pegs on smooth roads.

SEATS
EASY ACCESS, OPTIMAL CONTROL
The 690 ENDURO R’s seat height is 910 mm for ease of access without sacrificing ground clearance, while the seat material is developed for offroad usage, and is slightly textured to guarantee optimum wet and dry grip.

BODYWORK & GRAPHICS
A new era, a fresh look. Heavily influenced by KTM’s competition models the 690 ENDURO R radiates a modern aggressive appearance that begs to be ridden hard, non-stop.

SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS
Modern electronics and software are discreetly incorporated into the 690 ENDURO R, allowing you to better channel the performance to suit the terrain, conditions and your riding mood.
