HARD ENDURO 690 ENDURO R POWERFUL ALL-ROUNDER Can you say “Hard Enduro”? What you mean is “LC4”. The KTM LC4 models have always made their mark in this category. Low weight, great performance, rugged off-road technology and the utmost reliability have always been their core values, and that is just what makes the current 690 R the great bike that it is. The bike features a low centre of gravity and a very well balanced ride – very dynamic but also comfortable. Functional, high quality components with plenty of well thought-out details easily withstand occasional ground contacts. The power plant, borrowed from the Duke 690 R, demonstrates a perfect throttle response and lots of power at any time, thanks to its sophisticated injection and “Electronic Power Throttle” EPT. The 690 Enduro R combines outstanding off-road qualities with unbeatable all-round ability. It feels just as home in the city and on rural roads as it does on gravel and tough terrain. The high-torque single-cylinder combines the classic enduro concept with stateof-the-art technology and sporty all-round ability with suitability for everyday use.Simply a true hard enduro that goes along. Wherever. - Dynamic LC4 1-cylinder 4-stroke engine, electronic fuel injection, balancer shaft, APTC anti hopping clutch, 6-speed gearbox - Stainless steel exhaust with catalytic converter - Ultra-light chrome-molybdenum trellis frame - High quality die cast aluminium swingarm - Self-supporting plastic tail tank - Comfortable seat with optimal ergonomics - Low seat height - Fully adjustable WP suspension - Front/rear weight distribution for maximum balance and agility - High quality Brembo braking system - Extremely low weight of 138.5 kg
