Youdon't have any power left after you reach 150kph but you can drive 160 downhill and the bike is really fast until like 145. I imagine they did not focus on top speed but more on power and stability. Do you know what times are measured in 0-60? I managed 160kph on a road I'd classify as level.
Overthe past 30 years, KTM’s LC4 engine has evolved into the most powerful production single-cylinder engine on the market. Which is why it’s now used across a couple of KTM models: the 690 Enduro R (dual-purpose) and 690 SMC R (Supermoto) machines. Here are KTM’s detailed insights into what’s been upgraded on the 2023-model 693cc LC4
Frommy understanding, it looks like the 690 got a refresh in 2019. I've seen quite a few '20s and '21s at dealerships, and quite a few '15s and '16s on the used marketplaces. New arkups seem insane right now, so the used 15s and 16s seem like the better option/deal, but are the changes in the new refresh worth circling back and re-thinking
Topspeed-1/4 mile acceleration- KTM 690 SMC R: Essentially the same bike as the Enduro, Year: 2020. Could be the best bike I ever had, comfortable on the road and a total beast off road.
TheCUMPAN monitors the correct shift point via engine speed / engine temperature and warns if necessary with the integrated shift light. I mounted the Cumpan on my 2020 KTM 690 SMC R very well made Device easy installation, would buy it again!! hab den Cumpan an meiner KTM SMCR 690, Bj. 2020 verbaut. Top Qualität, top Verarbeitung.
80/10. Overall Score. 81.75/100. It’s true, the 690 does slide into an interesting space in KTM’s lineup just between the 790 Adventure and 500 EXC-F and with no real direct competitors from any other
Ihave a 19 and i figure there is about 50 t0 60 km left as i get 240 km to about 10 litres it is a 13 litre tank. I think It's 50 ks, but you can get more out of it with more conservative riding. But, he'll need to converted the ks to miles. BTW, the 19+ KTM's have a 13 and a 1/2 litre tank. 701 is 13 litres.
