Pros and Cons in comparison
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.

It is unbelievable how cultivated KTM has developed the single-cylinder without sacrificing performance. It can be considered a stroke of genius that, within the framework of the EURO4 standard, the engine's running culture was raised while at the same time increasing power. The flat torque curve is responsible for the smooth, powerful propulsion. From 4000 revs, the Duke pushes hard and revs up to 8500 revs. Even at low revs, the engine does not stutter or swallow, which is an advantage in the city. The Duke's greatest strength, apart from its rideability, is its manoeuvrability, which is why it can confidently be called a toy. It's only when you're on the racetrack and attacking hard that you wish you had the "R" under your bum.
