The KTM’s Dakar-winning 690 Rally machine, it’s
fitted with the company’s 654cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled LC4 engine. In
production trim, this engine makes 65bhp, but here it’s been tuned to produce
70bhp at 7,500rpm and 70Nm of torque at 6,000 revs. The engine, which is mated
to a six-speed gearbox, features a Keihin FCR 41 carburetor – no
fuel-injection here!
The wet, multi-disc clutch is hydraulically operated, the chassis is made of
tubular chromium-molybdenum alloy and WP suspension components are used at
both ends. At front, the WP-USD 52 MA fork has 300mm of travel, the rear
monoshock has 310mm of travel, and both ends are fully adjustable.
The Repsol KTM 690 Rally has to stop as hard as it goes, so it’s fitted with a
300mm disc brake at front, and a 220mm disc at the back. The front wheel is a
21-incher while the rear hoop measures 18-inches. The bike rides on 90/90-21
(front) and 140/90-18 (rear) off-road rubber. Ground clearance is 320mm –
handy when you are travelling across 6,000km of rough terrain in Africa…
The 690 Rally carries about 36 litres of fuel, weighs 162 kilos and in the
right hands, wins the toughest off-road rally-raids in the world.
