Swift Mk5 steel frameset

Just a simple steel mountain bike. That simplicity means flexibility, versatility and user-serviceability. Whether set up for fast blasts around local trails or long bikepacking epics - the Swift excels. 

Smooth is fast - the Swift's supple steel frame and fork combine with high volume rubber for a sublime ride over any terrain. 

Rigid, but suspension friendly - while we love riding rigid forked bikes with fat tyres (and the stock Swift fork certainly does that beautifully) sometimes a bit of squish is nice to have. The Swift geometry is designed to be able to swap in a typical 100mm travel suspension fork for 29" wheels. 

Eccentricity is good - the Swift has an eccentric bottom bracket shell. The primary benefit of this is for tensioning single cog drivetrains - whether singlespeed or an internal hub gear. However it is also really useful for fine tuning the bottom bracket height when using different size wheels and tyres - for instance switching between full 29+ and a typical 2.3" XC tyre. 

Bring on the mud - being a 29+ compatible frame, the Swift's mud clearance is nothing short of epic. But it's also one of very few true mountain bike frames which comes with mounts for full length mudguards

Keep 'em outside - All cables are routed external to the frame with neat modular cable guides. This makes maintenance and parts-swapping a breeze. 

This is where Singular 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. 

The latest Swift draws on that heritage and elevates it to a new level. 

The Swift is supplied as a frame and fork - or complete bikes can be supplied from Singular directly or our network of dealers.
