title: KTM 690 Enduro R
description: One of the most exciting single-cylinder engines ever born, KTM's LC4 engine when nestled into this mid-size dirt bike known as the 690 Enduro R, simply put, is a blast to ride. At it's home in the dirt, but still okay for pavement sections, this bike can't wait for the twist of your wrist.

The bike the KTM had such issues keeping in stock for so many years was always sold out for good reason: The KTM 690 Enduro R is a blast to ride, and loved by those who have them. Boasting 67hp from its LC4 single-cylinder torque-maker nestled into the tubular space frame of a fairly light bike, coming out of dirt turns in 2nd and 3rd reminds us why we ride. Still not an ideal bike for long pavement trips, the extra weight and girth of the 690 over smaller dirt bikes makes it great for longer trips that involve mostly dirt. Pack up, and head out into any dual sport riding paradise where we offer the KTM 690 to rent, and we look forward to your reaction.
