Overview

Introducing the 2023 GAS GAS SM 700 R, a stunning super motard that seamlessly blends performance, agility, and cutting-edge technology for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides. Positioned as a high-performance contender in the super motard category, the SM 700 R is designed for those who crave the thrill of the ride while enjoying the versatility of an agile motorcycle. With its distinct red and white aesthetics, this bike not only commands attention but also promises an exhilarating experience on both paved roads and rugged paths. At the heart of the SM 700 R lies a potent 692.7 cc engine that delivers an impressive 74 horsepower at 8000 RPM and a torque of 73.5 Nm at 6500 RPM. This powerplant, equipped with a four-valve configuration and advanced electronic fuel injection, ensures responsive throttle control and smooth acceleration.

The sturdy chrome-moly trellis frame provides exceptional rigidity and lightweight handling, while the WP APEX suspension—offering a generous 215 mm of front travel and 240 mm of rear travel—ensures you can tackle whatever the road throws at you with confidence. The powerful braking system, featuring ABS-equipped single discs at both the front and rear, guarantees optimal stopping power in various riding conditions. Additionally, the bike's two ride modes allow you to tailor your riding experience to match your preferences, whether you’re navigating city traffic or carving through mountain roads. **
