The 690 ENDURO R is equipped a ride-by-wire system, which processes throttle twist grip movements with the help of electronic sensors…

A resonator chamber balances out pulses in the intake tract and makes the throttle response smoother with reduced vibrations.

The lightweight and durable forged piston is designed to reduce reciprocating mass, and therefore improve engine response.

The PASC (Power Assist Clutch) ensures the rider needs minimal input to operate it, due to less engine torque transferring to the clutch plates.…The PASC (Power Assist Clutch) ensures the rider needs minimal input to operate it, due to less engine torque transferring to the clutch plates.

Twin balancer shafts, one in front of the crankshaft and the other in the cylinder head reduce vibration, which ensures a smoother ride.

The KTM wheels use lightweight, CNC machined hubs and high-end black 17” rims to combine maximum strength with minimum weight. They are fitted with Bridgestone S21 tyres for maximum performance on the street, and plenty of grip for racetrack usage.

This swingarm design allows for an optimal mounting position of the rear shock ensuring a high progression rate. The single-component…

Tried and trusted – the effective use of the rear fuel tank as the main structural element of the subframe, keeps weight low and eliminates…

Complementing the front fork is the WP APEX shock absorber that is connected to the swingarm by a linkage. This ensures a progressive suspension character and a high resistance to bottoming out. Fully adjustable, including high and low-speed compression, you can set up the shock absorber to any circumstances and rider preference.

The completely redesigned larger fuel tank now has a capacity of 13.5 litres. It also acts as a load-bearing part of the chassis, making it stiffer for a more optimal feel.

Maximum Super Moto control is enhanced by the WP APEX 48 upside-down fork. The split fork design developed by WP and KTM has been adapted for the 690 SMC R. It is fitted with springs on both sides with separate damping functions – compression is on the left and rebound on the right-hand side. The […]

Sublime class-leading BREMBO brakes combined with lightweight wave discs –  320 mm diameter front and 240 mm on the rear wheel – provide a crucial combination of stopping power and a consistent brake feel.
