SWM Superdual (2017)

Tourist moderation

SWM is a revived Italian brand that inherited Husqvarna when KTM incorporated Husqvarna: The single-cylinder engines have found a new home in SWM motorcycles – and a beautiful one too.

Tea S.WM Superdual celebrated its premiere some time before EICMA. Nevertheless, it is of course the top model at the SWM stand. It is based on the light Enduro SWM RS 650 R and complements its offroad talents with a healthy level of travel comfort, range, a luggage carrier and – as "GT pack"-Variant – even with side cases from Givi and side lights.

There are further differences in the wheel sizes: The Superdual is based on the 19/17-inch combination that is typical of the genre; the RS 650 R on 21 and 18 inch models. Their wheelbase is 10 mm larger and the seat height 15 mm lower. In addition, the bench of the SMW Superdual appears a good deal more comfortable, i.e. softer than that of its sister model, so that the way to the floor should be noticeably shorter in practice.
