Offroad ABS

Generally speaking, ABS and dirt don't play well together. However, that is not the case when it comes to KTM's proven OFFROAD ABS. In this mode, riders can lock up the rear wheel, giving riders more control in offroad terrain and allowing advanced riders to brake harder before ABS activates. However, should you want to push yoursellf even further. The dedicated ABS-off button allows all ABS to be disabled.

LED Lighting

The KTM 690 ENDURO R is equipped with a powerful LED headlight. Not only do these work when the world becomes dark, but they also provide improved visibility when navigating busy traffic or misty road conditions.

Service

The service intervals have been extended, requiring oil changes every 15,000 km instead of 10,000 km, with valve clearance checks now needed every 30,000 km.

Seat

The KTM 690 ENDURO R seat does three things. Firstly, it allows fluid rider motion when shredding offroad, thanks to its ergonomic shape and 35.8 in (910 mm) seat height. Secondly, it provides good comfort when you need to cover the ground between trails.

Traction Control

The KTM 690 ADVENTURE R is fitted with Cornering MTC and Cornering ABS, which uses the input from the 6D sensor to adapt in cornering situations. The MTC and ABS can also be turned off completely.

Front Fork

The KTM 690 ENDURO R features an adjustable WP XPLOR 48 upside-down fork with a split fork design. This was originally developed by WP and KTM for its championship-winning XC-W models and is fitted with springs on both sides with separate damping functions - compression on the left and rebound on the right-hand side.

Rear Shock

The WP XPLOR shock absorber 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.

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 consistent brake feel.
