Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

SWM SM 500 R 2020

SWM SM 500 R 2020

The SM 500R is not a thoroughbred supermoto that only wants to be ridden on the kart track. You can have fun with it there, too, but narrow bends and mountain passes are its home. Thanks to its comfortable seat and pleasant riding position, it is also happy to go on short tours. In addition to the well-known components, SWM also focuses on a reasonable price.

easy to ride

very good handling

very comfortable for a Supermoto

At 140 kg, a bit heavy for a single-cylinder

ABS regulates very early on

The KTM 125 SMC R impresses with agile handling, sporty looks and a high fun factor. It conveys a real motorbike feeling and is ideal for anyone who wants to enter the supermoto world. Minor weaknesses such as the front brake or the somewhat noisy chain run hardly spoil the overall impression. A clear recommendation for beginners who value quality, design and dynamics.

Disengageable ABS at the rear

Quickshifter as standard

Comfortable, accessible riding position

Top design and typical KTM look

Front brake a little weak

price in the upper range of the A1 class
