KTM’s 690 is a weapon. Straight off the showroom floor it offers seriously good performance in pretty much every parameter where performance is measured. With a great deal of research and some very precise, high-powered fabrication, an Aussie company has come up with a rally kit that’ll have the 690 ready to lay waste to the type of long distance, hard-charging that rally racing needs. The best bit is, it’s a smooth, comfortable distance runner for ‘ordinary’ riders as well.
Craig Hartley’s been around a while. He’s done a few Safaris, a jabillion enduros and cross-countries, and ridden across the Wide Brown Land a few times. There aren’t too many people who can handle a seriously heavy, big-horse power off-roader as well as Craig.
