Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a punchy, high-torque single-cylinder engine and a light, quick-steering chassis.
PurposeDesigned as a supermoto-flavored naked bike for spirited street riding, tight canyon roads, and urban commuting rather than long-distance touring or serious off-roading.
Rider FitThe tall 835mm seat height and lightweight 149.5kg dry weight favor taller or more confident riders who can flat-foot or tiptoe at stops.
CharacterOffers a raw, playful, and torquey riding experience with sharp handling, strong brakes, and an engaging single-cylinder character.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking plush comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or a bike built for extended highway touring.

2014 KTM 690 ABS Duke Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2014 KTM 690 ABS Duke, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
