WIND IN THE P36 KTM Introduces 690 Rally K TM has revealed its new 690 Rally. "Positioned as the spiritual successor to the iconic KTM 640 Adventure, the KTM 690 Rally brings rally-inspired purpose back to the LC4 plat- form, an invitation to go further and ride longer," says KTM. "Built on the proven KTM 690 Enduro R platform, the KTM 690 Rally builds on its dual-sport foundation with a clear focus on extended range, stability and long-distance usability. A purpose-built rally tower with an integrated windshield and a minimal 4.2-inch TFT display create a true rally cockpit, while dual front-mounted fuel tanks increase capacity to approxi- mately 5.28 gallons, enabling deeper exploration of remote environments with confidence." The KTM 690 Rally features adjustable WP Xplor suspension and a host of electronic rider aids tuned for extended riding. KTM claims it produces 73 horse- power and weighs 356 pounds without fuel, with a seat height of 38.9 inches. The new 2027 KTM 690 Rally will roll off the Austrian produc- tion line in September and be available at authorized KTM dealers in October 2026. Pricing has not been announced. CN KTM's new 690 Rally is designed with long-distance riding in mind.
