KTM 690 ENDURO

Two ride modes (1) Street mode (2) Offroad mode: “Street mode” for sporty throttle response where wheel slip and wheelies are kept to a minimum for optimal street performance.

Two channel ABS functionality with ABS activated on the front and rear wheel is the standard setting for the ABS in Street mode. “Offroad mode”, by contrast, produces smooth throttle response with Offroad Traction Control, which allows wheel slip and front wheel lifting without hindering performance.

The modes are easily switched over from the handlebar, making adjustment to the character of the engine possible on the fly. Traction control can be disabled if needed. In Offroad mode, the setting disengages rear wheel ABS for that important rear braking feel for low-traction terrain.

Quickshifter + uses two sensors, where one sensor on the shift arm detects the movement on the shift lever rod when the rider upshifts and the system cuts the injection instantaneously.

As soon as the second sensor detects the gear engagement it reapplies the injection and opens the butterfly valve, ensuring fast and smooth action at all throttle openings and engine speeds.

When downshifting, the system matches the engine speed to the speed of the lower gear.

WP upside-down fork, with a whole 250 mm of suspension travel and 48 mm outer tubes, is adjustable in many ways and masters the balancing act between every day, road and offroad use with the greatest of ease.

It is designed as a split fork with separate damping circuits (compression damping on the left fork tube, rebound damping on the right) that can be adjusted independently from each other.

This means that they cannot interact as they do in conventional open bleed systems – thus guaranteeing even sportier, more purposeful and rider-optimized ride characteristics. The pivot-arm articulated WP pressurized-gas monoshock with 250 mm of travel even features high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment

The WP XPLOR shock absorber is connected to the swingarm by a linkage.

This ensures a progressive suspension character and a high resistance to bottoming out. Fully adjustable, including high and low-speed compression, you can set up the shock absorber to any circumstances and rider preference.

Riding over rough terrain is made easier with the WP XPLOR 48 upside-down fork.

The split fork design was originally developed by WP and KTM for the EXC models. It is fitted with springs on both sides with separate damping functions – compression on the left and rebound on the right-hand side.

They have no negative influence on each other. Therefore, damping can easily be adjusted via the dials on top of both fork tubes, with 30 clicks of adjustment each

The MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) lean-angle sensitive traction control system reacts immediately the instant the rear wheel rotation speed becomes disproportionate to the riding situation.

In mere milliseconds MTC reduces engine output with an extremely smooth, barely perceptible intervention at the throttle valves, until slippage is reduced to optimum proportions for the selected ride mode and current angle of lean. For particularly ambitious riders, the traction control can also be switched off

Electronic fuel injection, ride-by-wire and the engine management system (EMS) make it possible to offer innovative yet easy-to-use electronic rider aids.

These features can be selected, deselected and utilized to put the potent new-generation LC4 motor to effective use in a much wider range of terrain types and conditions.

Keeping you cranked over in full confidence, Cornering ABS allows riders to use full braking power in all conditions, even at big lean angles.

This is particularly useful when you have twisty tarmac between you and your offroad destination of choice.

If you choose to select Offroad ABS mode, ABS is deactivated on the rear wheel, while only working on the front wheel, with cornering sensitivity disabled. Should you decide to go at it alone, ABS can be completely disabled for extreme scenarios without using an ABS dongle.
