2023 KTM 690 models announced

Two class toppers are coming next year.

KTM globally have launched to the digital world their staple 693cc models with minor updates on both models.

• 2023 KTM 690 Enduro R
• 2023 KTM 690 SMC R

Both models have proven themselves from back when they were 553cc race-spec engined bikes in 1987, to the durable single-cylinder machines they are today with of course many updates.

In fact, both have grown from being a slower selling basic machine to a full-function purpose-built motorcycle in their own right, with technology taken from higher-spec and larger machines.

690 ENDURO R 2023

Spot the differences from 2022 and you'll see more orange this year over the grey/orange blend of 2022.

Mechanically remains the same, with new cornering ABS, an updated proven LCD screen, updated CTG and seat treatment and offroad ABS.

You can place your deposit and join the queue for a pre-order, however pricing won't be announced until closer to release in Australia.

ETA is February 2023.

690 smc r 2023

A fully-fledged supermoto for the streets with rego.  As above for the Enduro/Travel version, updates for ABS and cosmetics are prevelant, with instead of offroad ABS like the enduro a Supermoto ABS is now added.

The next livery looks fantastic, coming in to line with the other 2023 bikes where the blue with orange is a welcomed look.

ETA February 2023 with pricing available closer to launch.
We are taking pre-orders now.
