Iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer SWM recently announced Mojo Motorcycles as their official Australian distributor when the brand was publicly launched at the Italian round of the Enduro World Championship.

The partnership between SWM and Mojo Motorcycles comes with a great deal of excitement as the two companies prepare to deliver enduro, adventure and road motorcycles to the Australian market.

“SWM is a good fit for Mojo Motorcycles,” commented Mojo Motorcycles director Michael Poynton. “We are a relatively young, but progressive company and we see the relaunch of SWM bringing a certain amount of energy and excitement to the market.

“SWM’s blend of heritage and youthfulness backed by solid Italian design and styling will be a formidable combination and we want to share that with Australian motorcyclists. We’re confident the model range will fit the Australian market well and the fact we can offer SWM at affordable price points makes the brand strong right off the bat.”

The SWM line-up bound for Australia will hit the market at very competitive proposed price points which is sure to attract strong interest. Combine this with quality componentry such as Brembo brakes, Excel rims and Kayaba suspension on the enduro models, SWM offers a very attractive package.

“SWM CEO Ampelio Macchi was chief engineer at Husqvarna developing the bikes of motocross world champion Alessio Chiodi and enduro world champions Anders Erikson, Kari Tianen and Australia’s own Stefan Merriman. This only inspires confidence,” continued Poynton.

Ampelio Macchi has been the driving force behind the SWM resurrection. The talented engineer who worked with iconic Italian brands Husqvarna, Aprilia and Cagiva secured the former Husqvarna factory in Briandronno, north of Milan and quickly set about arranging production.

“We have solid and ambitious goals stemming from a solid era in motorcycling,” explained Macchi. “These are my bikes. I know them and I know the staff building them. I am proud and very confident with the future.”

The first shipment of SWM will arrive in Australia later this year. Prices are yet to be set while the exact model range will be revealed soon along with retail dealer appointments.
