I bought a brand new 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R (EU version) from Hiperbikes in Mexico City and they shipped it up to San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas in the state of Sonora, Mexico. This is just a quick look at it, comparing what I knew to be different than my 2015 KTM 690 (USA version). No time to ride it. I'll be hauling it north to Colorado after the Memorial day weekend rush across the border. There I will start planning on what farkles i need to add or make for Deacon and I to ride together.
Highlights:
74 HP, 5 more than the 2014-2018 models!
3.57 gal gas tank, 0.57 more (I can go 200 miles now)!
WPS - 1 inch more suspension travel front and rear! (same seat height)
Switchable ABS and Traction Control, Street or Off-road (no dongle required)
Improved seat design and mounting (should make aftermarket seats unnecessary)
Tool kit located in on board tool box, under left shroud (no tools required to get to it)
USB port ...Whaaaaat! (still has separate ACC1 and ACC2 connectors)
LED tail and signal lights.
Li-Ion battery Mucho capacity.
2 counter balancers to smooth out vibration.
Intelligent Clutchless shifting up or down. Adjusts to gear ratio for each gear.
Locking Gas filler is higher to prevent dirt from flowing back in.
more coverage on skid plate. Me like that.
more orange! Orange is good. Orange is in our blood.
Enduro style lever guards.... they will have to be replaced.
Same 10,000 km (6000 mile) service interval.
Mitas E-07 Dual Sport Tube/Tubeless Tires Speed Rating T (118 mph) 50/50 dirt/street
