And now for the crucial question that comes to mind immediately: how does the Scrambler behave off-road? As with its predecessors, progress in unpaved terrain is only possible to a limited extent due to the rather high weight and above all the short suspension travel, but a ride over gravelled country lanes can certainly be fun.

Set-back seat

high power input

martial look

positive riding experience.

Unimpressive chassis

relatively high weight.

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.

Powerful engine

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

Suspension could absorb small bumps more harmoniously

Brakes not overly sensitive
