The short version
The 690 Enduro R is the last big-bore dual sport standing: 74 hp, 250 mm of fully adjustable XPLOR travel and genuine enduro geometry with a numberplate. Nothing else combines this much offroad ability with a motorway-capable engine.
Where it wins
- 250 mm of fully adjustable WP XPLOR travel front and rear
- 74 hp LC4 single with cornering ABS and an offroad mode
- 157 kg wet undercuts every twin-cylinder adventure bike by 40 kg
Where it loses
- 935 mm seat height demands long legs
- Minimal wind protection and a plank of a seat for road miles
