SWM Superdual T adventure tourer has finally made its India debut at an off-road event in Pune. Scheduled to launch by mid 2018, the middleweight adventure bike will be offered in two variants – ‘T’ (on-road version) and ‘X’ (off-road variant). Just so you know, MotoRoyale, Kinetic Group’s superbikes initiative, had announced (in May 2017) its plan to launch the Italian motorcycle brand – SWM Motorcycles – in the Indian market. The company had also confirmed that the first product to roll out will be the SWM SuperDual 650 adventure tourer bike.
For people not in the know, SWM Motorcycles is an Italian brand that commenced its operations back in 1971 with Motocross, Enduro and off road bikes. With its liquidation in 1984, the company closed down its all operations. However, the Milan-based firm breathed a new life with funding from China-based Shineray Group in 2014. The bikemaker displayed its product lineup at the 2014 EICMA show. Now, the company is planning to spread its wing across different nations including India.
