We say... The original was one of the first production 29ers in the U.K! The latest version has all the updates you would want and none that you wouldn't. They say... 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.
