Australia’s newest adventure bike is a blast from the past – in more ways than one.

SWM is a bike brand that’ll ring a few bells with older riders.

Back in the last century the Italian marque used to knock out a pretty competitive two-stroke enduro bike. In the 1970s SWMs were podium finishers in enduro world champion-ships, and as it moved into the 1980s the company also developed a range of competitive trials bikes using Rotax engines.
