KTM has recently unveiled its latest 690 Enduro R model, one that completes the Austrian manufacturer’s motorcycle lineup and which is based on the same LC4 engine that makes people dream about this sport enduro motorcycle.
Based on the previous model year 690 Enduro, the “R” model aims at satisfying rider demands by offering a sportier character and by implementing new technologies that contribute at making the bike as versatile as it is reliable.
Because KTM has implemented a modern electronic ignition, the LC4 engine will feature reduced emissions and fuel consumption as well as contribute to the increase in performance of up to 62 HP.
In what concerns the chassis, if features greater suspension range as the rest of the bike has to come up to the engine’s demands. Also, the chassis was lightened, instruments updated and a new mud guard was added. In 2009, the new KTM 690 Enduro R will run on Pirelli MT 21 tyres.
The only inconvenient is the one and a half months time you need to wait until it hits dealerships.
