ACE OF ALL SURFACES.
ACE OF ALL SURFACES.
Ride from home and feel the adrenaline build while chasing asphalt curves towards your favorite offroad location. No trailer required just twist the throttle of the KTM 690 ENDURO R, which really comes into its own when the dirt begins and the trail gets more extreme. Its lightweight chassis, aggressive styling, and trusted 690 LC4 motors, are enhanced by the latest electronics and WP XPLOR suspension. Master more challenging terrain on this lightweight, high-performance king of versatility.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:
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 outstanding free-revving nature and refined engine running. Another big plus: It's extremely economical with fuel.
CYLINDER HEAD: A lightweight, compact cylinder head contains four valves and a single camshaft placed over the intake valves, with a secondary balancer shaft driven by the timing chain. The intake valves are actuated by finger followers and the exhaust valves by a rocker arm.
RESONATOR CHAMBER: A resonator chamber balances out pulses in the intake tract and makes the throttle response smoother with reduced vibrations.
RIDE-BY-WIRE: The 690 ENDURO R is equipped with a ride-by-wire system, which processes throttle twist grip movements with the help of electronic sensors and activates the throttle valves to control throttle action. This significantly improves the response, giving the rider better throttle control of the potent single-cylinder and a smoother ride.
INJECTION / ENGINE MANAGEMENT: Electronic fuel injection and engine management allow performance perfectly suited to the riding conditions. The result: even more and even better-controlled power, lower fuel consumption, and fewer emissions, plus the benefit of features like MTC (cornering traction control), MSR (Motor slip regulation), and Quickshifter +. The rider has the choice between three different mappings to influence the engine characteristics. A twin-plug ignition system controls two differently sized spark plugs in the cylinder head independently from each other, for more efficient combustion and a smoother, precisely controlled combustion sequence at all times.
CHASSIS: Blasting down remote winding streets, tearing along gravel roads, and exploring single-track is what it's all about with the KTM 690 ENDURO R thanks to a dynamic chassis with WP XPLOR suspension and heavy-duty offroad wheels.
FRAME: 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.
BODYWORK & GRAPHICS: Heavily influenced by KTM's competition models the KTM 690 ENDURO R radiates a modern aggressive appearance that begs to be ridden hard, non-stop.
QUICKSHIFTER+: Quickshifter+ uses two sensors, where one sensor on the shift arm detects the movement on the shift lever rod when the rider upshifts and the system cuts the injection instantaneously. As soon as the second sensor detects the gear engagement it reapplies the injection and opens the butterfly valve, ensuring fast and smooth action at all throttle openings and engine speeds. When downshifting, the system matches the engine speed to the speed of the lower gear.
CORNERING ABS: KTM's Cornering ABS mode allows riders to always use the full power of their brakes in all conditions while taking the lean angle of the motorcycle into account. In the optional Offroad ABS mode, the ABS only acts upon the front wheel, while cornering-sensitivity is disabled. In extreme scenarios, the rider can also choose to disable the ABS completely.
