Performance Profile & Rider Fit
Best For
Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to intermediate-to-experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, powerful single-cylinder machine that demands active input. |
| Purpose | Built primarily as a big-bore enduro weapon for serious off-road riding, trail exploration, and technical terrain, with light road use as a secondary role. |
| Rider Fit | The tall 935mm seat height and 152kg dry-oriented weight favor taller or more athletic riders who can confidently manage standing, shifting body weight, and paddling the bike at low speed. |
| Character | A raw, torquey big single with a lightweight chassis rewards decisive, engaged riding and punishes hesitation, giving it a focused, no-nonsense personality. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for riders wanting plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or a low-effort commuter experience. |

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)
KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain model year 2014 690 Enduro R motorcycles manufactured October 2013 to April 2014. In the affected motorcycles, the rear brake pedal mounting bolt may loosen, allowing the rear brake pedal to detach from the motorcycle.
Risk: If the rear brake pedal detaches, the rider would only have the front brake to slow or stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: KTM will notify owners, and dealers will install and properly torque, a washer and new rear brake pedal mounting bolt with threadlocker, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090.
