KTM returns to its Rally Raid roots with the highly anticipated 2027 KTM 690 RALLY, reconnecting with a legacy built on long-distance off-road exploration and uncompromising terrain performance.
Positioned as the spiritual successor to the iconic KTM 640 ADVENTURE, the KTM 690 RALLY brings rally-inspired purpose back to the LC4 platform – an invitation to go further and ride longer. It enables riders not to find themselves, but to meet themselves beyond the familiar.
Designed for riders who understand that the real journey begins where the pavement ends, the KTM 690 RALLY is built to tackle demanding terrain and extended adventures. Away from routine and expectation, riders are left with what matters most: the terrain ahead, the distance to cover, and the experience that comes with it. Out there, distractions fade away and the focus shifts entirely to the ride itself. It is this spirit of exploration and discovery that lies at the heart of the KTM 690 RALLY, revealing a side of yourself not yet explored.
Built on the proven KTM 690 ENDURO R platform, the KTM 690 RALLY evolves its dual-sport foundation with a clear focus on extended range, stability, and long-distance usability. A purpose-built rally tower with integrated windshield and minimal 4.2” TFT display creates a true rally cockpit, while dual front-mounted fuel tanks increase capacity to approximately 5.28 gallons (20 liters), enabling deeper exploration into remote environments with confidence.
Designed to perform across everything from technical off-road terrain to high-speed liaison sections, the KTM 690 RALLY features adjustable WP XPLOR suspension and a host of electronic rider aids to bridge the gap between lightweight enduro agility and rally-level endurance. The machine is built not just to handle the journey, but to intensify it. With its purpose-built rally cockpit, increased fuel capacity, and focus on long-distance usability, it enables riders to venture further into remote environments and experience adventure in its purest form.
Because out there, the trail reveals more than what lies ahead. In those moments, you do not find yourself – you meet yourself. For the first time.
The only question is – will you go out?
The new 2027 KTM 690 RALLY will be rolling off the Austrian production line in September and will be available at authorized KTM dealers in October 2026. For more information, visit KTM.com.
