    There is an ‘adventurised’ 630 for sale near me. It started life as an SM630 but is being sold as a TE. It is being offered with the SM wheels in addition to 21/18 wheels which are on it now.

    My question... apart from the wheels, do the TE and SM have identical suspension? I’ll pre riding predominantly off road, so I’d want as long travel as I can get.

    If there are differences, could someone please edjumacate me?

    Also, do the SM wheels have a cush hub?

    If this bike isn’t right for me, I’ll probably end up with a new SWM RS650R...

    The differences- as far as I recall- are that on the SM you’ve got shorter legs up front (and shorter travel, of course), different caliper/rotor and caliper mount, and the 5th and 6th gears are different than the TE. A little searching will get you the specifics. I’ve no clue if the SM rear wheel has cush- my guess is No (as the idea of sourcing a SM hub hasn’t come up- as far as I know- in the on-going brainstorming of ideas on how to fit the TE with a cush hub.)
