Your argument goes both ways. There are alot of people who enjoy being offroad more than on road. The enduro is a light adventure bike that is more capable offroad than you think it's all about your offroad skill.

Cycle cruza i think you dont really know what your talking about because you lack off road experience, i have owned many 650's, 450's and 250 dirtbike and let me tell you if i had only 1 bike to have it would be the ktm 690enduro or husqvarna 701, i can follow all my buddys off road on their 450s i have ridden single track many times with it did some big hill climbs even hit some jumps with it but i have knobbys on it, the trails i go to some are 60miles from home and i love the 701 on the highway its so smooth compared to a drz400 or wr250r. Its the best of both worlds but i dont go crazy on road i dont want a ticket so i dont need those shitty supermoto wheels that do very crappy off road absolutely no traction in mud or sand you would wash out and fall with those supermoto wheels

Having a super Moto like having a pocket knife versus a dual sport is like a multi tool.

Enduro R is for gravel road cruising. Some areas have miles and miles of maintained rock roads. That’s what these bikes work best for but it’s rarely discussed.

OK, if you say you can’t have proper fun offroad on 690 Enduro R, you have NO idea 😂 I’m outta ere 😂

My Tuono weighs 399lb, I can't imagine trying to manage it offroad. The 690 is what 320lb? I'm from Ohio too, now in South Carolina. "I miss those Ohio back roads!

If I were planning to ride logging roads, gravel roads, and gentle dirt roads, I think the Enduro model would be great. The bike is just too heavy for serious single track. The SM is truly built for ripping pavement and it is freaking awesome. I have taken my 701 SM on gravel roads and it is OK, but I am afraid I would blow a tire and be stranded. I use mine as a road bike.

Hands down the best options for a supermoto are the Ducati Hypermotard Mono RVE or KTM 690 SMC R. Though I'd definitely wait for the update on the KTM next year as their throwing everything at it to compete with the Mono RVE. I was honestly surprised how much fun the KTM 690 was when I test rode it, so the update next year will easily make it a serious top contender for best supermoto that even Ducatistas will have to appreciate.

Enduro R was the only thing available in this country when i bought mine. But i love her!

If you ever plan to run the TAT, you are going to want some sort of dirt oriented tires, with knobby’s. I promise you!

Get the Wings exhaust. You will not be disappointed. Great sound and looks awesome. There are 3 dB inserts for it that allow you to get the exhaust note to suite your preference. Really easy installation also.

Enduro can do most everything the supermoto can but I wouldn't take the moto too deep off road.

It looks cool Cruza

Love the plastics/color of your SMC here. Can Geta 80/20 type tire for SMC so gravel roads can be slayed. Where did you source them?

Enduro is perfect offroad because of the service intervals. You can easily make the smcr to Enduro. Also, 50/50 tires on the sumo do very well for the casual ofroad rider. I even climb trails on slicks. Just don't rip it too hard. This is the sickest bike in the world. Always had it and will always have one.

The 690 is a VERY capable bike. You as a rider will not get close to reaching that bikes limits off-road. I used a vstrom 650 adv bike off-road for 2-3 hours everyday in serious off-roading. It takes a higher skill set than a dirt bike, but there’s a TON of riders like me. They’re not some myth. I met a lot of them though ADV Rally camps. And the idea of 350lb super capable off roader that is unicorn dual sport sounds amazing to me. You’re really get the best of both worlds. Ktm is the only one that has made a unicorn bike, there really is no other competition. It’s 20% the bike 80% the rider at the end of the day. the 690 is loved known for its abilities. And just because you’re not at that skill level doesn’t mean it’s rare or doesn’t exist. Supermotos are the niche ones not dual sports. Bikes like the dr650 and klr650 are super common for a reason.

We all fit the tubeliss systems on our dual sport bikes so that we can deflate too almost zero pressure and also plug on the trail, not a decent recent to get the SMC, besides most new adventure bikes come with tubeless 21" front rims, like on my Triumph Rally Pro.

So much truth here. The ADV market strives on the "go big or go home", especially where I come from the big old dudes want big bikes to go with their big egos. Don't forget mid-life crisis, in South Africa most ADV riders are 50+ and most ADV riders will ride be on-road and with minimal off-road use. Anyways the really big ADV bikes are ridden for the comfort and touring ability.

Was looking on the husky and ktm websites, biggest differences seem to be suspension and front brakes, i think enduro forks are different and shock maybe, obviously valving and travel is different. Ground clearance might be less on supermoto version also. Bike front brake is worse for offroading, both for clearance and brake lockup. You can run heavy duty tubes, and also tire sealant as far as punctures go. I think anyone buying new already knows what vetsion would be best for them.

Good Bike choice. I was rooting for you to come to the ktm team a while back.

Big reason to get the Enduro R is the additional front suspension travel (250mm versus 215mm) if you do any off pavement riding.

Can you recommend best helmet comms? Currently I’m using my AirPods pro but I want to talk on the phone and not have issues with sound quality. Thanks😊

For my first dual sport im looking for a 2020 wr250r. Put my r1 up for sale a few days ago

Man cycle cruza I've been wanting to pull the trigger on another bike i like the adventure biles but I would like the 450 range type bikes, the supermoto bike cost to much even the used ones.

How do you install the mirrors please make a video of it

My 850gsa has 21" tubeless front

I put Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires on my 701 enduro. Perfect combination here in Colorado. 👌👍

I have an Akro on my one and a Leo Vince on the other, the Leo Vince is half the price, but just as nice, if not a tad louder.

Dam Cycle Cruza you got me laughing my ass off with that back woods shit 😂lol shinko 705 is for life all the way.

I have owned both the SMC and Enduro and to be honest the Enduro is a better bike for both ON-Road and Off-road use cuz the suspension on the factory supermoto version is way too stiff if you take it offroad. The Enduro however, when fitted with supermoto wheels feels great still. Suspension is softer but still lots of fun on pavement. 17 inch wheels with knobbies will still work off-road but you shouldn't take it to rough single track terrain. You risk that tire coming off the bad and losing air as you ride. 21 inch wheel with offroad tires will just roll over un-even terrain better.

supermoto is king. ppl just get jealous bro. supermotos can do everything best type of bike out there

Tires are one thing steered me away from dual sport so far. Pirelli tires have not usually been my favorite, but ones on my newer ones seem really good. Debatable when need to keep same or try out those shinkos. My scooter after riding more bikes can definitely feel the sketchiness of it more. I don't think the shocks are serviceable but I saw someone on KZfaq do it I should take it to the dealer one day and have him try. Or if I had a bunch of money really good suspension on it and really good tires. I at least want to try and find a really good set of tires next time I replace it. I'm guessing the end of next season. Scooter still runs fine starts up instantly no longer how long I leave it but it definitely probably could use a good run through of everything. Fluids, cables

I have got my 2019 690 enduro r good for both

2-3 horse power!? How about 10bhp where it matters (midrange)

A few years ago, I had the money to buy it. I wanted it. I mean I REALLY wanted the KTM 690 SM. Knowing my limited budget, and limited mechanic abilities, I decided for the SAME price, I could buy 2 (two) KLX 300's. So I did. I bought a KLX 300 DS >and< a KLX 300 SM. I still fanboi and daydream about the 690 SM, but for the reasons stated.... daydreams will have to do.

damn that bike is lookin good brother

Sportster Next get it

You absolutely do need a minimum of 19 on the front to go offroad yes you absolutely do… 17 gets stuck on twigs in your way and makes the impacts on every imperfection in your path severely uncomfortable.. makes riding offroad miserable and for that reason alone you 100% need a bigger front wheel.. you’re insane for making that claim

I'm fortunate enough to have one of each 😝

690 enduro is awesome on dirt. I smash through washes and even single track here in SoCal on big dirt bikes. Malcom smith trail etc. just takes some skillz and experience. DON’T lay it down 😂 and yea we bang out 150 miles on dirt east in a day with 4-6 hours of off-road riding. You gotta be in shape for riding and we do it weekly.

Yeah Id choose the supermoto. If I want a dirt bike Ill buy a dirt bike. I dont really care to have a bike that can 'sorta' do both. A pure bred dirt bike is so much more fun. I haaate having a heavy bike in the dirt. I like riding tracks and stuff too. And that just isnt fun on a heavy ass bike!

I ride a 600 pound adventure bike on the craters of the moon everyday ❗

You can't just put a 17" wheel on the front of the Enduro R to replace the 21". The forks are different for the 2 bikes, and if you do that, the trail on the suspension will be so small, the freeway will be sooooo scary. I did this, and ended up having to make a bunch of mods to make it stable at speed.

What do you think of Beta motorcycles?

Everybody don't listen to this guy. Get the Enduro. You can wheelie, but you are opened up to dirt. I've owned both.

bike looks good but... i like the orange better.

Just use ultra heavy duty tubes and you’ll be fine.

I got the Enduro aversion because I got a hell of a deal on it and I could just buy super Moto wheels once I burn through these knobbies

That's all the bike ya need 😊

Black plastic ,,, nope, KTM orange is better looking.

Just for laughs, why not get a KTM 1090 or 1290 as your next bike? They are much more your size and the performance specs are good! I think I'm getting a 1090 soon as a 2nd bike, and I'm rather excited about it. A close relative is going into long term lock up and doesn't want his 1090 to go to waste. I'll ride it like it's stolen 😈 Yeeeeee Haaaaa

You have to realize location is key here, where you and the majority of people live there’s terrible or no offroad…… Here in the pnw it’s everywhere and endless epic offroad and on road. The enduro makes more sense here.

I prefer ktm original plastics/graphics But do what u like, it’s ur bike bro I do agree sumo would be better for me than the enduro, however

690 Enduro is more like rally bike platform and great on dirt open roads,its not light enduro.Smc is ok but enduro is simple a better overall do it all.

completely different suspension not even the same fork offset if you want super Moto, do not get the Enduro

I’m only buying the enduro because lt’s cheaper in my country 🤷‍♂️

Dope.

Supermoto!!

You don't know what you're talking about, lol!

Too much $!

KTM TRASH!!! JAPAN OR NOTHING
