KTM 690R and Enduro

The 690 can do such a wide range of motorcycling tasks it's hard to pin it down to one.

KTM 690R and Enduro Forks


There have been several series of KTM 690 forks in varying cartrige diameters with compression adjusters on the bottom, side and top of the fork.

All the 250mm and 300mm travel forks can be converted to 275 or 300mm. 275mm works very well and is the length we suggest if you wish to extend your suspension. We can supply and fit the lengthening parts.

KTM 690R and Enduro Shock


The WP shock in all 690's only went through one change in 2012. Externally it's the same, 80N spring. the setting change was aimed at making the shock more compliant from 2012 on. We have a wide range of shock springs for the 690 in HiCalibre's 20-053 Series Shock Springs.

The X-Trig Spring Preload Adjuster is a great addition too, as the stock shock collar tends to bind up. We can repair any 690 shock with a damaged shock body and the addition of the XTrig is much kinder to the aluminium alloy shock body.
