Ride from home and feel the adrenaline build while chasing asphalt curves toward your favorite offroad location. No trailer required, just twist the throttle of the all-new KTM 690 ENDURO R, which really comes into its own when the dirt begins and the trail gets more extreme. Its new chassis, revised styling and an updated version of the trusted 690 LC4 engine, are enhanced by upgraded electronics and new WP XPLOR suspension. Thanks to the hydraulically actuated PASC slipper clutch, the rear wheel always remains under control, even in heavy trail braking. A standard, highly advanced cornering ABS with an aggressive set-up and offroad mode must of course also be included. The innovative WP fork with separate damping make it especially easy to find the optimum set-up, since the compression and rebound adjustments do not interfere with each other. A great chassis, cool looks, a powerful engine and great ergonomics all round ensure that riding the KTM 690 ENDURO R feels just as great in urban traffic and on back roads as it does on gravel and offroad. Master more challenging terrain on this lightweight, high-performance king of versatility.
