2027 KTM 690 RALLY Specs, All Features and Tech
GO OUT. MEET YOURSELF.
The KTM 690 RALLY is built for riders who go beyond the familiar. Designed for long-distance off-road travel and Rally Raid-inspired performance, it delivers the range, control, and capability to push deeper into the unknown.
01. PRE-RIDE
Rally Bodywork
Improved control in off-road conditions
Slim, rally-inspired bodywork is designed for rider movement and control, allowing easy transitions between seated and standing riding in technical terrain.
Dual Front Fuel Tanks
GO FURTHER BETWEEN STOPS
The KTM 690 RALLY features two additional front-mounted fuel tanks, adding 1.84 gallons (7 liters), working together with the rear tank to bring total fuel capacity to 5.28 gallons (20 liters). A dedicated fuel management system allows riders to actively switch between front and rear tanks via the handlebar-mounted switch cube, with the reserve light corresponding to the selected tank. This provides maximum flexibility and control when riding in remote terrain.
Rally Tower & Windshield
Reduced fatigue over long distances
A purpose-built rally tower with integrated windshield improves wind protection at higher speeds and over long distances. This reduces fatigue during extended off-road stages and fast liaison sections.
4.2” TFT Display & Connectivity
Stay focused on the terrain
A 4.2″ TFT display delivers clear access to ride modes, navigation, and bike information. The compact layout keeps key data visible without distracting from the terrain ahead.
02. ENGINE
LC4 Single-Cylinder Engine
Proven long-distance performance
The latest-generation LC4 engine delivers strong, reliable performance with extended service intervals, including 15,000 km oil changes. It is designed for long-distance riding and demanding off-road use.
Ride Modes & Electronic Rider Aids
Adapt performance to terrain
The KTM 690 RALLY features multiple Ride Modes, including Street, Off-road, and optional RALLY Mode. In RALLY Mode, riders can adjust traction control and throttle response for precise terrain adaptation.
Advanced rider aids include cornering ABS and cornering MTC, utilizing a 6D sensor to adapt braking and traction control during cornering. Dynamic Slip Adjust, available in RALLY Mode, automatically increases wheel spin when additional traction is required, before returning to the rider’s preset setting.
Braktec Brake & Clutch System
Precise rider input
The Braktec hydraulic system provides consistent braking and clutch performance for precise rider control. It is integrated with the optional Quickshifter+ system, enabling seamless up- and downshifts without clutch input.
OFFROAD ABS
Greater braking control off-road
OFFROAD ABS allows riders to disable ABS on the rear wheel while retaining front-wheel assistance. A dedicated ABS-off button also enables full deactivation of ABS when needed. This improves braking control on loose surfaces and steep descents.
LED Lighting
LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS
LED lighting, derived from the KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA, delivers strong visibility in low-light and poor weather conditions, improving rider awareness on and off-road.
03. CONTROL
Footpegs
FIND YOUR FOOTING
Wide “no-dirt” footpegs prevent mud build-up and provide consistent grip. Optional rubber inserts can be fitted for increased comfort during road use.
Rider Ergonomics
Freedom of movement
The rider triangle is designed to allow unrestricted movement, supporting both seated riding and standing control across varied terrain.
Seat
Comfort across long stages
The 35.8 in (910 mm) seat height and ergonomic shape allow fluid rider movement while providing comfort during longer liaison sections between off-road stages.
04. CHASSIS
BREMBO Brakes
STOPPING POWER
Brembo brakes with 300 mm front and 240 mm rear discs deliver strong and consistent stopping power across on-road and off-road conditions.
WP XPLOR Suspension
Control across all terrain
WP XPLOR front forks feature separate compression and rebound damping adjustability, while the rear shock offers full adjustability, including rebound, high- and low-speed compression, and preload. This allows riders to precisely adapt suspension performance to different terrain and riding conditions.
Wheels and Tires
Grip across mixed surfaces
A 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup, combined with Continental TKC 80 tires, delivers reliable grip and durability across dirt, gravel, and mixed-surface riding.
