KTM Unveils 2027 690 Rally With 78Hp And 20-Litre Tank
KTM has shown a new motorcycle called the 2027 690 Rally.
It is made for riding long distances over rough, unpaved terrain.
The bike is based on KTM’s 690 Enduro R. Its engine has been changed and produces 78 horsepower.
It carries 20 litres of fuel, nearly twice as much as the standard version.
This helps riders travel farther between fuel stops.
KTM says the bike is aimed at multi-day trips rather than short trail rides.
Production will start in Austria in September, with international dealers expected to receive it from October 2026.
