I only come across this brand last night and I'm trying to collect as much information and ride videos as possible, I think it's now a toss up between. the 650sm to the xt660x... I'm torn as to which one now 😂
I think the XT660 is a heavy bike compared to the swm and has less power. If the swm's dry weight will be under 160 kilo as I read today.. No doubt what I wld get but I still have my trusty old 158 kilo dry weight KTM Lc4 Adventure.
kloppskalli true, XT660 is heavy, but it's a reliable engine. bomb proof some might say, I did speak to a SWM representative last month and he did say the husqvarna engine has been reworked and has longer service intervals and a proven engine.
The husky 610 it was designed from was one of the best duelsport trail bikes out there. ..in my opinion.

Why the short travel of suspension. Man...
When will Adventure Bike TV be reviewing this machine? :)
The 500 has much better gearing than the 300 if you need to do some road miles. That's probably it's main advantage.
my god that rubbish music. looks like a nice bike
I like that rubbish music (:
A 650 with a 600 engine.
KTM undersold their 1301 engine as a 1290.
Crappy report. Why didn't you mention HP or TQ figures??
it is hard to understand to man with grey jacket. He swallows words and shutters.
