One of the genres in which KTM particularly stands out is that of provocative ‘(Its orange which freaks you out like ovomaltine is a signature that could not be more ambiguous). So, when it comes to renewing her single-cylinder Supermoto, Katoche has no hesitation in going over-dynamic..
Gone are the nice and standardized design of the 640; the new 690 has a real face to tap you away from the persistent retina. Mixture of origami, sharp angles and pure SM solutions, the latest KTM creation is a real invitation to play the smart. Especially with a mono that one would swear unpacked from a “racing parts” box.
The 690 supermoto is equipped with a single cylinder of 653 cm3 (why 690 as the name then ???) worthy of a race preparation: Keihin butterfly injection, throttle opening assistance, very compact cylinder head thanks to the presence of ‘a single overhead camshaft, hollow intake valves, central balance wheel, anti-dribble in the clutch, better lubrication, loss of 3 kg compared to the 640, and a potato of 64 horsepower supplied by the piston. Let’s speculate a little: by turning the 2 enormous vertical silencers necessary for Euro 3 and thus allowing the mono to breathe at full lungs, I will not be surprised that the moulbif gives you as many horsepower as a Suzuki SV 650 1st generation, with a p ….. kick to the woodcutter’s c …
Around the 17 “rims, nothing less than the sport tire – at the front, an inverted fork of 48 mm in diameter (almost what MV-Agusta puts on its F4 1000) finished by a martyring radial brake caliper l ‘single 320 mm disc – behind, it’s rock’n roll with an oscillating arm that highlights its reinforcing ribs. Between the two, a tubular trellis frame providing lightness and rigidity. bitumen…!
152 kg without gasoline, 64 nags, the sporting and all-terrain soul of KTM to the end of the bolts … With this almost factory-built grinding wheel in your garage, then quickly on the most troubled roads possible to take a plunge hell, this civilian supermotard among the toughest on the market has not finished making more than one salivate. As always, a pure juice Katoche is not intended for the curious banter and hesitant: do not expect delicate comfort and plan a budget that annoys: more than 8,000 € the SM, physiotherapy sessions not included.
