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

It wasn't just the looks of the KTM 250 EXC that convinced the 1000PS offroad faction. The 2-stroke single-cylinder was praised for its high torque, pleasant power and refined running. The behaviour of the chassis was also convincing, except for the excessive rebound of the fork. Thus, the KTM 250 EXC shines not only with a comfortable seating position but also with neutral and good-natured handling.

powerful engine

smooth running

neutral handling

Strong rebound of the fork
