The MY21 RS 500R with its 501cc ‘king of the bush’ displacement, devours big desert tracks and open trails while making molehills of mountains. It is the quintessential weapon of choice for riders with an insatiable appetite for open-class engine performance packaged with friendly, predictable trail-bike compliance and handling characteristics.

The model benefits from Euro 4 engine mapping; a strengthened sub-frame; new yellow and black colour scheme, new plastics, headlight and indicators as well as a recontoured seat ergonomics for enhanced comfort on the trail.

Also as with the previous model, the MY21 RS 500R features high-quality componentry including Mikuni fuel injection, KYB suspension, Brembo brakes and Michelin Enduro Competition IV tyres. Fuel capacity is 7.2 litres.

Manufactured at SWM’s production facility in Lombardia, Italy, the SWM RS 500R is backed by the assurance of a six-month parts and labour warranty.

The SWM RS 300R and RS 500R has the winning combination of history, quality and reliability served up with a budget-beating price tag.
