If you’re looking for a true off-roader from your production dual-sport, I’m not sure it gets better than the KTM 690 Enduro. Built to serve as the base for KTM’s Dakar Rally efforts (which they won in 2007, 2009, and 2010 with this bike before regulation changes forced them to switch to a smaller engine for competition), the 690 is the farthest on the off-road side of the spectrum compared to its dual sport competition like the KLR, G650GS, TR650, and more. The seller of this specific example has embraced the bike’s off-road strengths and turned it all up to 11 – who needs pavement, anyway?
The 690 Enduro comes well equipped with WP adjustable suspension, Brembo brakes, and more power than anything else in its class at 48.9 horsepower. But with this bike, you’ll get so much more.
This specific KTM 690 Enduro has approximately $20,000 into it, including the EVO 2 Adventure Rally Package from Rally Raid, Giant Loop soft lugage and tank bag, MotoPro suspension work, and a list of other parts that goes on for a long time – check the post for a better list.
