TECHNICAL DATA
 DEALERINFORMATION – KTM690ENDURO
TOP ARGUMENTS & FEATURES (1)
Single cylinder vs. multicylinder
Æ Less rotating masses & lower engine weight mean extremely easy handling and cornering
Æ Lighter, more compact engine which leads to a narrower chassis
Æ A narrower chassis implies higher corner speed Æ increase of achievable declination
Æ Torque characteristic allows short gearing which leads to impressive acceleration

Less weight of the whole Bike allows

Æ Usage of lightweight rims
Æ Usage of just one front Brembo brake disc
Æ All in all, this results in less rotating & unsprung masses which lead to a remarkably agile and
impressively handy KTM bike

The strongest homologated single cylinder Enduro ever!

Æ 46.3 kW (62 hp) compared to 35.3 kW (Yamaha) and 39 kW (BMW and Husqvarna)!
At least approx. 10 hp more compared to any other competitors’ single (see “Technical
Data”)!
Higher torque than any other competitors’ single (see “Technical Data”)!

With a full tank just slightly heavier as the DRY BMW G 650
Xchallenge (see “Technical Data”)*

* Full tank = min. 90% of the usable volume (according to guideline 93/93/EWG)
1 litre of gas = 0.75 kg!
 DEALERINFORMATION – KTM690ENDURO
TOP ARGUMENTS & FEATURES (2)
An innovative, lightweight and extremely stable chomoly trellis frame (approx. 8 kg)
guarantees maximum torsional rigidity for excellent track stability. Instead of the fuel tank the
airbox found its new position in the front.

Revolutionary, self-supporting fuel tank

Being stiff enough for replacing the aluminium subframe, this exceptional, robust 12 litres plastic
tank is part of the lightweight concept and exemplary for the new 690 Enduro/SMC concept.

Premium, fully adjustable WP Suspension components

Æ 48 mm USD fork: adjustable in rebound and compression for comfortable riding up to racing purposes
Æ WP Monoshock with Pro-Lever-linkage adjustable in rebound and high/low speed compression
Æ Especially the competitors’ rear shocks offer less adjustment possibilities!

High-end, KTM-made spoked wheels with aluminium rims and Brembo brake system
Æ Front: Single 300 mm disc, floating 2-piston caliper
Æ Rear: Single 240 mm disc, floating 1-piston caliper

TOP ARGUMENTS & FEATURES (3)
APTC slipper clutch (NO other competitor offers a slipper clutch as standard!)

Renthal aluminium handlebar, tapered

Keihin EFI with EPT (Electronic Power Throttle) and Map select switch
Æ “Soft” – reduced homologated peak performance for better driveability (Pos. 1)
Æ “Advanced” – homologated performance with extremely direct responsiveness (Pos. 2)
Æ “Standard” – homologated performance with balanced responsiveness (Pos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9)
Æ “Poor fuel quality” – homologated performance is reduced in accordance with the fuel quality (Pos. 0)

Incomparable seat configuration

Due to the fact that the fuel tank found its position in the rear, the sporty,
elongated seat guarantees maximum freedom of movement and a perfect
position for every imaginable type of curve.

TOP ARGUMENTS & FEATURES (4)

Strong commitment to high-quality producers and components

Examples: WP Suspension, Brembo, DID, Keihin, Acerbis and many more!

High vertical range of manufacture

Æ Main components, such as the frame, engine, front fork (WP Austria, located in the KTM
headquarters) and exhaust system, are developed and produced by KTM in Mattighofen!

Not only with KTM Offroad bikes, but also with KTM street models the company already established itself
as a very competitive manufacturer which offers high-end bikes with an outstanding performance
and design
Æ Example: 990 Super Duke was awarded “’07 Motorcycle of the Year” in the US!

GENERAL INFORMATION & CONCLUSION

With fully homologated 62 hp, the 690 Enduro, which will be available just in orange, arrives as the strongest
single cylinder Enduro ever!
Due to its extensive power on every imaginable terrain, it is multifunctionally usable – on weekends on the
Enduro/MX track, on weekdays as a commuter bike for having fun on the way to work. This linkage between
serious offroad- and everyday-usage (passenger food pegs and handholds – both homologated and included
in the by-pack) on a KTM Enduro has never been tighter before and cannot be found on any other
“comparable” competitor’s bike!
