If straight-line speed is your priority, the DesertX Rally takes the lead. With 36 HP more than the 690 Enduro R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 690 Enduro R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 73kg less than the DesertX Rally, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the desertx if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the 690 if you want the alternative brand character.
