shock, which is also fully adjustable.
You can spot quality components all over the
Superdual X. It comes fitted with oversized alumi-
num handlebars, Brembo brakes, Metzeler tires, a
hydraulic clutch and a Regina chain.
But here's what really sets the Superdual X
apart from the TE630, the Superdual X's larger
4.8-gallon fuel tank, crash bars and attached
running lights, anti-lock brakes, center stand and
side stand, luggage rack and windscreen. Now
the Superdual X is ready for a good adventure!
And here is the best part—you get all this for
just $8995 (which is, oddly enough, $4 cheaper
than what the TE630 was going for in 2013). The
KLR650 sold for $6699 in its final days, but $8995
is still a fantastic price for a well-equipped fuel-
injected 600cc European-made adventure motor-
cycle that is much more powerful than the KLR650
ever was. And performs very well overall, too.
Yes, the SWM Superdual X is an excellent-
performing machine that feels more dual sport
than a lightweight ADV bike, which SWM catego-
rizes it as. When you think of it that way, then the
SWM quickly impresses, especially in the motor
department. There is plenty of power available
at the slightest twist of your right wrist, and it's all
very controllable. It doesn't rip out of your hands
whenever you crack the throttle (that comes later)
