Engineered by KTM for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2008 KTM 690 Enduro utilizes a 654 cc (39.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 102.0 x 80.0 mm (4.0 x 3.1 inches) with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the 690 Enduro measures 138.5 kg (305 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,498 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
