Will it fit you?

At 910mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2009 KTM 690 Enduro, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
