Is the KTM 690 Enduro R too much bike for beginner off-road riders?
The KTM 690 Enduro R is a bike that’s famous for a potent single-cylinder engine, with something like 74 horsepower in a fairly light package. While this power-to-weight ratio may be appealing to experienced off-road riders, it is cause for concern to new riders to off-road riding. The bike is especially tall, and the engine could feel really powerful and intimidating or, worse still, dangerous for beginners. Since this question is about newer off-road riders wanting to learn on or older off-road riders wanting something for a different part of their riding. It also discusses the learning curve of the bike and some strategies to help new riders safely adapt to its performance.
This is definitely not a beginner-friendly bike. It’s pretty abrupt power delivery, and easy to get in over your head if you don’t watch out. I would suggest starting off with something smaller and working your way up.
