SINGULAR SWIFT MK5 Frameset
This is where it all began - a simple steel 29" wheeled hardtail mountain bike. The Swift was launched in 2006 at a time when 29" wheels were just entering the mainstream. A suspension capable do-it-all off-road machine the Swift rapidly won plaudits as a great riding, looking and incredibly versatile bike.
2023 sees the release of the latest incarnation of the Swift - the Mark 5. Now updated with a tapered headtube for suspension fork compatibility, thru axles front and rear, internal dropper post cable routing - while retaining the fantastic ride quality and handling for which the Swift is renowned.
We utilise a size specific selection of Taiwan made custom drawn triple butted 4130 Cro-Mo tubing.
We are now taking pre-orders on these frames with delivery expected at the end of November.
