The Raleigh RM5 Supermatic was announced in November 1960, was in production from February 1961 and stayed in the range until September 1969. It used the same frame and engine as the Mobylette, built under licence from Motobecane in France, and was the variable-speed companion to the single-speed RM4. It had an automatic clutch, leading-link forks, a swinging arm, drum brakes and a dual seat. Telescopic front forks were fitted from June 1965 and legshields became standard equipment in September 1965.
