The comparison of the KTM 690 Enduro R and Husqvarna 701 Enduro is often made, largely thanks to the design similarities and the fact they have the same parent company. The two bikes have single-cylinder engines powerful enough to power them and are marketed as dual-sport bikes. Although only subtle, there are some differences in suspension, ergonomics, and overall character that can make one rider prefer one over the other. In this question, we examine the subtleties that differentiate these two widely favored models with a focus on their on- and off-road suitability, comfort, maintenance, and riding versatility. For big-bore dual sport riders struggling to choose between these two closely related but different options, this is highly relevant.
