Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience on tall, single-cylinder adventure bikes, as the light dry weight and high seat height reward confident handling.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable big-single adventure enduro for mixed on-road and off-road touring rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe 809mm seat height and dual-sport stance mean shorter riders may need to tiptoe at stops, though the light overall mass keeps low-speed maneuvering manageable.
CharacterA rugged, no-frills adventure bike with a torquey single-cylinder engine, long-travel suspension, and a lively, dirt-capable character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed highway comfort, sport-touring refinement, or a plush two-up long-distance mount.

2016 SWM SuperDual Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 809mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 SWM SuperDual, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
