KTM 690 Duke (2013)

The 690 Duke is a testament to KTM’s commitment to preserving the raw, unbridled essence of a single-cylinder motorcycle.

While it has gained smoothness, increased passenger capacity, and improved long-distance capabilities, the 690 Duke has never lost its intense and elemental ride dynamics.

Its cutting-edge LC4 engine boasts 690 cm of displacement, twin ignition, and plug-selective mapping for optimal combustion, along with extended service intervals and reduced fuel consumption.

This potent combination of technology and design results in a riding experience that is both incomparable and unforgettable, making it hard to justify the need for more cylinders.

The 690 Duke delivers 50 kW of power, courtesy of ride-by-wire and a finely balanced crank drive, making it an effortless and thrilling ride.
