KTM 690 Enduro R 2023

The KTM 690 Enduro R is the perfect bike for riders who find a touring enduro too heavy, but a hard enduro too uncomfortable and maintenance-intensive. The new electronic features make the bike very accessible even to inexperienced riders. The smooth-running, cultivated engine, together with the perfectly tuned gearbox and overall gratifyingly low vibration level, also makes long tours possible without any problems.
KTM 1050 Adventure 2016

In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.
