The core of the Singular range – a 29” wheeled steel mountain bike frameset for the discerning enthusiast.
The Swift takes after its namesake, one of the quickest around it darts and dives like no other, but it’s comfy and stable enough to be a joy to ride all day. In nature swifts do it all ‘on the wing’, eat, sleep, even re-produce – you won’t want to get off your Swift either, except perhaps for the last of these… Our views page will tell you more about the thought process behind all the angles, tube length and type, but that all fades into insignificance as soon as you ride one.
The first Singular model is still the kind of bike we generally like to ride the most. It’s an absolutely no-compromise 29” wheeled mountain bike with an attention to geometry that makes for a fantastic handling bike, whether rigid or suspended. Check out the v iews section for more of a discussion on 29” wheels, but suffice to say, we’re sold, and reckon if you’re over 5’8” you’ll only need to try them once to change your mind as well. The Swift is designed for use with either the supplied rigid fork or a suspension fork designed for use with 29” wheels.
The Swift was previously available in standard geared as well as pure singlespeed configurations. It has now been consolidated into one model, that being what was the Swift SS with cable guides so that gears can be added if desired. This adds versatility for all users while retaining clean lines in either configuration. This is achieved by using an eccentric bottom bracket insert which allows chain tension to be adjusted for singlespeed or internal geared hub use.
