Which suits you
There is little in the weight: 162kg against 166kg wet.
Both take a 90/90-21 front tyre, so the same front tyre options fit either bike.
A tick marks the better figure for green laning. Manufacturer figures; weights are wet unless marked as estimates.

Our take on each
KTM 690 Enduro R: A genuine off-road weapon with a huge power-to-weight advantage, but its tall seat and firm saddle make it hard work over long road stretches.
Husqvarna 701 Enduro: Precise, powerful and beautifully balanced off-road thanks to its rear-mounted tank, though the tall seat and lack of wind protection make winter road miles tough.
Remember: rider ability, tyres and the weather on the day move the real answer more than the bike does. Check each lane's own difficulty and legal status before you ride.
