Pros and Cons in comparison

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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
