The Austrian motorcycle manufacturer is building a good reputation for off-road bikes. The KTM 690 Enduro R is a solid machine. But the company founded in 1934 wanted to create something even better for their customers. Every year, its fans are getting bigger and bigger, so KTM needed something new to hold them until another 2024 model emerges.
Husqvarna 701 Enduro: Design & Features. The design of the 701 engine is strikingly similar to that of the 690 R. It has a SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engine that is liquid-cooled. The four-valve single cylinder head has 42mm intake and 34mm exhaust valves designed to improve valve timing at higher RPMs. Nov 12, 2010. Oddometer: 29. I use 690 enduro R as a trail and travelling bike, but alone, without passenger. It doesn't have the comfortability of a bigger bike like V-Strom or similars to make a lot of highway miles, but is a light bike with good suspension, so you can make difficult tracks avoiding highway. IMO the best is to drop it about 25mm the factory way: simply replace your 275mm R forks and shock with 250mm non-R components. This keeps the stock geometry and the suspension working as it was designed.The 2023 Husqvarna Enduro 701 has an MSRP of $12,999, while the 2023 KTM 690 Enduro R has an MSRP of $12,999. Side-By-Side.
