SWM SUPERDUAL X

cannot be turned off, which is a major
bummer when riding aggressively in
the dirt. In truth, you can turn it off
if you put the bike up on the center
stand and let the rear wheel spin for
a bit, which will disengage the ABS;
however, this is a pain after a while and
can be tough to do on uneven ground. And it also
disconnects the front ABS, which is a major sacri-
fice, in our opinion. Being able to turn off the rear
ABS is something SWM needs to look into. And
they also need to look into putting more aggressive
off-road tires on it.
SWM does offer accessories for the Superdual
X, including aluminum Givi saddlebags.
Overall, there are plenty of things
to like about the SWM Superdual X.
It's a good-performing lightweight ADV
motorcycle that has a lot to offer for a
fantastic price, things like fuel injection,
a large fuel tank, aluminum handlebars, a wind-
screen, crash bars, running lights, handguards,
a luggage rack and ABS. And you might like that
it's not packed with expensive electronics that you
probably won't use anyway.
Plus, it's a little bit different. And what's not to
like about that? CN
Wheelies are hard to
come by because the
street-oriented tires have
a hard time hooking
up on the dirt. There is
plenty of power to get the
job done, though.
