KTM has finally put real numbers on the 2027 690 Rally: £11,499 in the UK, $14,199 in the US, and $15,599 in Canada, with dealer deliveries starting October 2026. Production itself started this September.

I’ve been refreshing the KTM press site for this since the reveal, mostly because “no price yet” is the single most dangerous phrase in this hobby — it’s the exact window where I convince myself I’m definitely buying one, right up until the number actually lands and my credit card statement reminds me what my actual life looks like.

The number that matters: how it lines up against the obvious rival

At £11,499, the 690 Rally undercuts the Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally Edition, which is the bike everyone was always going to compare it to the second KTM showed the tank shape. That’s the whole pitch in one sentence: a single-cylinder, rally-bred adventure bike priced to sit just under its closest twin-cylinder competitor, not above it.

What’s actually new since the reveal

KTM revealed the 690 Rally as the spiritual successor to the old 640 Adventure a few weeks back, but at the time KTM hadn’t announced pricing anywhere, in any market — the only number floating around was a rough estimate based on what the donor 690 Enduro R costs in the EU. That gap is now closed: full regional pricing across the UK, US and Canada, plus a firm October on-sale window.

It’s not the only manufacturer quietly moving numbers around this month, either — Suzuki just cut prices on two of its own 2027 models with zero spec changes, and Kawasaki brought the Ninja H2 back for 2027 at a price that’s actually easier to justify than the old one. Whatever’s going on in pricing departments right now, I’m not complaining.

The 20-litre split-tank fuel system carries over from the reveal unchanged — a handlebar switch lets you pick which tank feeds the engine, which is either a genuinely clever bit of rally-raid thinking or the kind of feature I will absolutely forget how to use on the one multi-day trip a year I actually go on.

What we know / What’s still unclear

What we know: - Confirmed retail pricing for the UK (£11,499), US ($14,199) and Canada ($15,599). - Production started in September 2026; dealer deliveries begin October 2026 in all three markets. - Full spec sheet: 692.7cc single, 78 hp, 20-litre dual-tank fuel system, WP XPLOR suspension front and rear.

What’s still unclear: - Confirmed pricing for continental Europe and Australia/New Zealand hasn’t been published alongside this UK/US/Canada round — the earlier reveal coverage flagged AU/NZ availability for December 2026, separate from this October window. - Whether the launch-spec bike differs in any market-specific way (e.g. EU emissions tuning) from the version priced here.
