KTM 690 Enduro vs. 500 EXC | Ultimate Buyers Guide (I've Owned Both)

I've had many requests to compare and contrast the 690 and 500. I have owned both so I have a unique insight into this question. In this video I break down the technical differences and why they matter to you. We take a deep dive into this comparison and talk about which bike may be better for you based on how and where you ride.

You can also use this to judge the Husqvarna (Husky) 701 Enduro vs FE501s. The 690 and 701 are almost the same. The EXC and FE have minor differences in suspension and frame and components, but this overall comparison is still 98% the same. You can also consider the 350EXC or FE350S to be a comparison as they are identical to the 500's except for cylinder size.
