KTM 690 Duke 2018 vs. KTM 690 Enduro R 2018

KTM 690 Duke 2018

When you consider where the KTM Duke range once began, the 690 Duke represents an incredible leap forward. The engine is extremely refined yet incredibly powerful for a road-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it’s still a very light bike and could almost be described as a toy (in the best sense of the word). Only its riding position divides opinion, as the Duke 4, launched in 2012, evolved from the earlier Supermotos into an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented riding position. The advantage is that everyday riding and long tours should pose no problem on the current Duke.
