About SWM Gran Turismo 2019
Introducing the 2019 SWM Gran Turismo, a motorcycle that seamlessly blends classic styling with modern performance in the sport category. Designed for riders who crave the thrill of the open road while also seeking practicality, the Gran Turismo is an exceptional choice for both urban commuting and weekend adventures. With its unique blend of Italian craftsmanship and innovative engineering, it stands out in a market flooded with generic options, appealing to enthusiasts who value individuality and performance.
At the heart of the Gran Turismo is a robust 445.30cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 29.50 HP. This powerplant, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, provides a thrilling yet manageable riding experience, making it well-suited for both novice and seasoned riders alike. The engine’s 10.0:1 compression ratio and 4-valve design optimize power output while ensuring smooth acceleration and responsive throttle control. The oil and air cooling system keeps the engine running efficiently, allowing for longer rides without overheating. Riders will appreciate the nimble handling, aided by a lightweight chassis that tips the scales at just 151 kg (332.9 pounds), enabling dynamic maneuverability and a sense of confidence on twisty roads.
The Gran Turismo is equipped with a host of features designed to enhance the riding experience. The telescopic front fork and dual-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, with 125 mm and 99 mm of travel, respectively, absorbing bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Safety is paramount, with ABS-equipped single disc brakes at the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power in all conditions. The bike also boasts a generous fuel capacity of 23.50 liters (6.21 gallons), allowing for extended journeys without frequent stops. Available in eye-catching color options of white/black and green/black, the Gran Turismo is as visually appealing as it is functional.
Pros:

- Comfortable Suspension: With a well-tuned suspension setup, riders can enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride over various terrains.
- Distinctive Style: The unique design and color options help the Gran Turismo stand out from other motorcycles in its category.
Cons:
- Limited Power Output: While adequate for commuter needs, the 29.50 HP may feel underwhelming for riders seeking higher performance.
- Single Cylinder Vibration: The single-cylinder engine can produce more vibration than multi-cylinder counterparts, which might be noticeable on long rides.
- Basic Features: While it has solid fundamentals, some riders may find the features and technology less advanced compared to competitors in the sport segment.
The 2019 SWM Gran Turismo is more than just a motorcycle; it's an invitation to explore and experience the world on two wheels. With its blend of performance, comfort, and striking aesthetics, it's a compelling choice for those who refuse to conform to the ordinary.
