RS500 Real-world video blog - Episode 6

Follow along with SWM Brand Ambassador Jubal Brown as he rides and Modifies a RS500 throughout 2021

The SWM RS500 is an extremely versatile motorcycle with incredible potential, and with an MSRP thousands of dollars lower than its competition, its owner will have some extra money leftover than can go to smart mods and fun adventures. To prove it, we gave SWM Brand Ambassador Jubal Brown a lightly-used 2020 RS500 demo bike to play with for 2021. Jubal will be creating some simple grass-roots Vlogs for us over the next 12 months or so as he puts the RS through its paces at dual sport rides, enduro races, high-mountain single track, and more!

After close to two weeks down in the Baja sun, Jubal is back to walk you through how the project RS500 handled the ride from Ensenada to Cabo. Watch on to learn how the bike handled the tight singletrack, the wide open desert, and everything in between. Jubal covers what worked well on the bike, what problems he encountered, and what mods he wants to make before the next trip south of the border.

Episode 4 sees the RS500 KYB fork and shock come apart and get a complete overhaul at 707 Racing Suspension. 707 works their magic to get the best performance out of the suspension in the widest variety of terrain possible.
