Husqvarna 701 Enduro vs KTM 690 Enduro R on track
One standing-start lap of the Ref Ring, our 3.4 km circuit with no home-crowd corners. Every braking point, apex speed and straight is computed from the published specs, so the stopwatch has no favourites.

The KTM 690 Enduro R laps the Ref Ring in 1:52.87 on paper, 0.05 seconds quicker than the Husqvarna 701 Enduro at 1:52.92. That gap is worth about 1 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 0.01 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.
Through the corners there is nothing between them on paper; this one is decided by power and braking. Top speed goes 187 km/h to 187 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.
