A powerful engine, one-of-a-kind looks, a fantastic suspension set-up and optimum ergonomics – the 690 Enduro R combines outstanding off-road qualities with unbeatable all-round ability. It feels just as home on the asphalt as it does on gravel and in tough terrain. Thanks to its dual ignition cylinder head and plug selective mapping, the 690 Enduro R has even, excellent power control and fuel mileage. WP front forks with separate damping circuits make adjusting the perfect set-up even easier because the rebound and compression damping stages do not influence each other. The high-torque single-cylinder combines the classic enduro concept with state-of-the-art technology and sporty all-round ability with real-world practicality.

Yet another dual sport bikes that requires the installation of a potentially expensive, larger gas tank for any real adventure in the outback. When will these manufacturers ever learn?
Potentially? That underseat tank makes it virtually impossible. I like/love these bikes but know better than to buy one. It makes it especially troubling since I ride with the local KTM staff and won’t even ride one despite the offer because it’s like a lovable blind shelter dog, no matter how much you like it, you’d better not take it home.
This bike gets upwards of 70mpg in real world usage. That’s almost double my 640 ADV. The tank is big enough, all things considered. If not, use fuel bladders.
what is “roll over protection” in an offroad motorcycle?
A helmet and neck brace.
LOL
So does this the second balance shaft like the 690 Duke?
