A visually appealing luggage rack for the KTM 690 that continues the shapes of the trellis frame. Powder-coated in the KTM colors orange/black, it fits perfectly into the vehicle line. Made entirely of stainless steel, the rack is not only extremely sturdy but also very light (670 grams). During development, care was taken not to unnecessarily increase the well-known low vehicle weight while still ensuring suitability for travel and everyday use. Mounting on the mounting points of the standard pillion grab handles is uncomplicated and quick. The pillion suitability is maintained when using the luggage carrier.
The use of an additional cross brace in front of the tank lid prevents the luggage load from resting on the tank lid. The seamless transition to the seat allows larger pieces of luggage to be carried.
The luggage load is largely carried by the original mounting points on the rear frame in the vertical direction and the seat. As a result, the threaded inserts on the original plastic rear frame are subjected to significantly less stress than with comparable products.
If only the area behind the tank cap is loaded, the payload should not exceed 5 kg. If the luggage is loaded all the way up to the seat, higher payloads are possible. In all cases, the luggage must be firmly lashed down.
If quick-release tension straps are used, the additional effort required for refueling is only slightly higher than removing a tank bag.
