Rider Profile

Best For	This bike rewards riders with some experience, as its light weight and punchy single-cylinder torque demand a confident, active riding style.
Purpose	Built for aggressive backroad carving, supermoto-style thrills, and sharp urban riding rather than outright top speed or distance touring.
Rider Fit	A tall seat height and firm, sporty ergonomics suit riders of average-to-tall stature who don't mind a compact, upright-but-aggressive posture.
Character	Raw, characterful, and mechanical in feel, this big single delivers a visceral, punchy power delivery with excellent chassis feedback.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting plush long-distance comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or smooth multi-cylinder refinement.

Units

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

Feet:

At 865mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2015 KTM 690 Duke R ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
