Motorcycle specifications KTM690 ENDURO R 2013 Enduro à la sauce couteau-suisse

the main changes are still fresh for the Enduro R, dating back to 2012. Mainly to the engine: the 654 cm3 is replaced by the 690 cm3 of the Duke R. Power peaks at 67 hp. The silhouette has been slightly revised, as have the suspension and ergonomics.
With its EXC range, the Austrian manufacturer has something for everyone, from the simplest enthusiast to the toughest enduro pro. These are very distinctive, exclusive machines, which can be used for anything from the "warmth of the garage" to "roads and crossings", without ever having to use the road. Katoche has opened up new horizons for its off-road range by combining its LC4 mono with studs and a hint of asphalt envy. Alongside the 690 Duke and 690 SM / SMC, the 690 Enduro is a new exploration ground for the big mono. More efficient, livelier and meaner, it's the 690 Enduro R.

with its orange frame, substantial seat height of 930 mm (made even more pronounced by the fact that the suspension is 25 mm higher than on the standardEnduro), its sporty spirit evident from the trim to the headlight plate, this machine is clearly in a more muscular class than the BMW G 650 GS and Yamaha 660 XT-R, the only survivors of the mass-market single-cylinder trail bike breed. Intended to be effective on the road, the Enduro R is only truly enjoyable when the tarmac has disappeared. Dirt, a bit of dust, rocks and rough roads bring a smile to its face. The big piston and its 67 stallions are not the type to sit still, and they're capable of both winding up on country lanes (authorize, not do ;-) and setting a fast pace when the track is wide. Weighing in at just over 140 kilos dry, this machine can handle anything in normal conditions. However, in pure enduro, it can't compete with the EXCs, which are much lighter (30 to 40 kilos). It will therefore require more effort and anticipation for crossing and more technical areas. Without falling into the trap of extreme use, the 690 Enduro R can be adapted to everyday use, while still being able to play outside office hours.
