OFFROAD ABS
Generally speaking, ABS and dirt don't play well together. However, that is not the case when it comes to KTM's proven OFFROAD ABS. In this mode, riders can lock up the rear wheel, giving riders more control in offroad terrain and allowing advanced riders to brake harder before ABS activates. However, should you want to push yoursellf even further. The dedicated ABS-off button allows all ABS to be disabled.
LED Lighting
The KTM 690 ENDURO R is equipped with a powerful LED headlight. Not only do these work when the world becomes dark, but they also provide improved visibility when navigating busy traffic or misty road conditions.
The service intervals have been extended, requiring oil changes every 15,000 km instead of 10,000 km, with valve clearance checks now needed every 30,000 km.
Seat
The KTM 690 ENDURO R seat does three things. Firstly, it allows fluid rider motion when shredding offroad, thanks to its ergonomic shape and 36.8 in (935 mm) seat height. Secondly, it provides good comfort when you need to cover the ground between trails.
Traction Control
The KTM 690 ENDURO R is fitted with Cornering MTC and Cornering ABS, which uses the input from the 6D sensor to adapt in cornering situations. The MTC and ABS can also be turned off completely.
Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge fork with 230 mm travel keeps things in check, with adjustable compression and rebound in 30 easy clicks for easy adjustment. On the rear, any big hits are handled by a WP APEX Separate piston shock absorber with 230 mm of travel. The shock is also rebound adjustable with 20 clicks on the fly, while preload adjustment can be taken care of with a tool.
Brakes
Pulling out all the stops, the KTM 390 ENDURO R is equipped with a 285 mm brake disc and Bybre caliper up front and a 240 mm brake disc and single-piston caliper at the rear. These are supported by KTM's proven ABS technology, but this can also be disabled completely for added agility offroad.
Front Fork
The KTM 690 ENDURO R features an adjustable WP XPLOR 48 upside-down fork with a split fork design. This was originally developed by WP and KTM for its championship-winning XC-W models and is fitted with springs on both sides with separate damping functions - compression on the left and rebound on the right-hand side.
