The SWM Superdual T was launched in India with much fanfare by its parent company Motoroyale a few months back. The new motorcycle was the first ADV offering from Motoroyale for India, but it seems the bike hasn’t found many takers to date. This doesn’t come as a surprise as the Superdual T is more of a hardcore off-roader than an adventure tourer. Also, the SWM brand isn’t among the most popular two-wheeler brands and the restricted dealership network of Motoroyale have compounded its problem further. Additionally, its rivals, the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650, are more well-rounded and also more reliable.
With the reduction in price, the Superdual T becomes the cheapest offering in its segment. The Suzuki V-Strom is the most expensive at Rs 7.46 lakh, while the Versys 650 carries a sticker price of Rs 6.69 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom, Delhi). We must add that both the Japanese bikes are powered by twin-cylinder motors, while the SWM has a single-cylinder engine, but it does have the better hardware for off-road riding. The reduction in pricing is only available for the first 250 customers or until 31 March 2019. Whether the revision in pricing helps Motoroyale push sales is something only time will answer.
