This is the KTM 690 Baja, a model that is still under development and we do not know for sure that it will be commercialized, although seeing it in the photos, it seems clear that yes. The KTM made an important first step before unveiling the 690 Enduro to the motorcycling public: it presented the 690 Baja as a truly competitive off-road motorcycle which was to be ridden at the famous race by Cyril Depres, winner of the 2007 Dakar Rally, podium-familiar Chris Blais and Davis Pearson. This way, the racing success that is about to come will determine the average rider to get a feel of the machine that takes everyone on the podium.
