The long-announced, long-awaited KTM 690 Rally is finally set to arrive in earnest. Packing roughly 79 horsepower into a chassis weighing about 170kg, it's said to be the most powerful single-cylinder adventure bike ever made.
The 690 Rally is a model that's been teased and then vanished, over and over, for years. So actually seeing it arrive with concrete numbers, 79hp and roughly 170kg, gets my pulse up. That power-to-weight ratio on a single is a genuinely aggressive bike, even on paper.

That's the ideal form of a single-cylinder adventure bike. The 690 lineage's come this far.
Light, single-cylinder, rally-spec, this one bike could handle desert and forest trail both.
Years of just teasing and now finally? Wish KTM would stop with the constant tease routine.
Been made to wait, but seeing 170kg and 79hp on the spec sheet, all is forgiven.
79hp on a roughly 170kg single-cylinder adventure bike, on the numbers alone that's next-level.
KTM's singles are fast, but durability and price are always what scares me.
The 690 Rally's finally here! It's been a long wait... been waiting for this the whole time.
