Overview

Introducing the 2007 Gilera SMT 50, a striking entry in the super motard category that perfectly harmonizes spirited performance with agile handling. Known for its versatile design, the SMT 50 is tailored for young riders and enthusiasts eager to embrace the thrill of urban commuting or weekend escapades on twisted roads. With a bold stance and a nimble frame, this motorcycle captures the essence of fun, offering an invigorating blend of style and functionality that makes it a standout in the small displacement market. At the heart of the SMT 50 lies a dynamic 49.90 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, engineered to deliver an exhilarating ride. With a compression ratio of 13.0:1, this powerplant produces a punchy output that is both thrilling and responsive. The six-speed gearbox ensures that riders have the flexibility to adapt to various terrains, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures, allowing for sustained performance over longer rides. Riders will appreciate the lightweight construction of only 96 kg (211.6 pounds), which contributes to the bike's nimble handling and makes it an ideal choice for navigating through tight city streets or taking on dirt paths with confidence. The Gilera SMT 50 is equipped with impressive features that enhance its riding dynamics and overall user experience. The hydraulic Paioli 36 mm front fork and rear single shock absorber work in tandem to provide excellent suspension, absorbing bumps and ensuring stability whether you're carving corners or cruising over uneven surfaces. Stopping power is equally commendable, with a robust 260 mm front disc and a 180 mm rear disc that offer reliable braking performance. Additionally, the bike's compact fuel tank holds 5.70 liters (1.51 gallons), ensuring you can enjoy extended rides without frequent pit stops. The classic kick starter adds a touch of nostalgia and reliability, reinforcing the bike’s straightforward approach to motorcycling. **
