The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The GasGas ES 700 has a 910 mm seat; the SWM RS 650 R sits at 900 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 91 cm for the GasGas ES 700 and 90 cm for the SWM RS 650 R.
That makes the SWM RS 650 R the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the GasGas ES 700 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
