The Marque
SWM is an Italian marque founded in Milan in 1971, forged on enduro and trial circuits where it claimed world titles. The name stands for off-road engineering with a competition heart.
Revived in 2014 under the Shineray Group at the historic Biandronno plant, SWM today blends Italian heritage with modern, large-scale manufacturing — a rare mix of pedigree and dependability.
In Canada, SWM focuses on powersports: Trailhunter ATVs and Nomader Side-by-Sides built for work, trail, hunt, snow and mud — backed by an authorized dealer network.
