EICMA’S ADVENTURE BONANZA<br />
MODEST<br />
FUEL TANK<br />
still just 13.5-litres<br />
– hence it’s called<br />
an enduro, not<br />
an adventure<br />
bike. KTM will<br />
keep Rotopax in<br />
business for years<br />
LONG TRAVEL<br />
SUSPENSION<br />
250mm front and rear, just<br />
as with the old 690. The<br />
Husky 701 comes with<br />
275mm, but KTM aren’t<br />
going the extra inch…<br />
WEIGHT<br />
146kg. For those who like<br />
extreme adventure riding, or<br />
gentle enduro (is that the same<br />
thing?), this is a winner. Over<br />
200kg can be a bit monstrous<br />
at times…<br />
WHEELS<br />
21” front, 18” rear – ready<br />
for competition tyres.<br />
OEM Mitas E07s are a<br />
fairly mild-spec though<br />
given the ‘enduro’<br />
designation of the R<br />
