Now in its fifth iteration, the Singular Cycles Swift MK5 is the brand’s longest running model. It’s a versatile hardtail that be set up with a suspension or rigid fork and has clearance for 29+ tires. Preorders just opened, and you can find all the details here…
The Swift was first launched back in 2006, when UK-based Singular Cycles was getting started and 29″ mountain bikes were just becoming mainstream. The Singular Cycles Swift is now in its fifth iteration, which they describe as a “suspension capable do-it-all off-road machine.”
The Swift MK5 has been updated with a tapered headtube for suspension fork compatibility, thru axles front and rear, internal dropper post cable routing, all while retaining the ride quality and handling it’s known for. The Swift is built up around Taiwan-made custom drawn triple butted 4130 Chromoly steel tubing, has a 73mm BSA threaded bottom bracket, boost hub spacing, clearance for 29 x 3.0″ tires, and all sizes get bottle mounts on the seat tube, down tube, and under the down tube.
The matching Swift fork has a 483mm axle-to-crown (100mm suspension corrected), triple pack mounts, rack and fender mounts, and internal dynamo routing. The frame has dropper post routing, bolt-on cable guides on underside of down tube, and it uses post-mount brakes front and back. It comes in three sizes and one color option.
The Singular Cycles Swift MK5 is available for preorder with delivery expected at the end of August. A 30% deposit will secure your frameset with the balance payable prior to shipping. The total cost is £950 (~$1,210 USD), and you can preorder yours at SingularCycles.com.
