ATHLETES
Faster, lighter
and stronger
than ever

Just as we’ve drawn our design, engineering and manufacturing talent from across the globe, so our sponsored athletes hail from all parts of the world. With racers from Portugal, Hawaii, France, Hungary, Australia and the UK, it’s truly an international team. Many of our athletes compete in Ironman triathlons – with a 112 mile cycle leg, a fast, efficient yet comfortable bike is a must, and that’s what we aim to deliver.

As well as bringing the SwiftCarbon name to audiences around the world, our athletes are a vital source of product feedback – feedback that we can use when designing the next generation of SwiftCarbon bikes. In an arena where seconds can make the difference between winner and also-ran, every little improvement we can make improves their chances.

Our athletes want to win, we want them to win and we do everything we can to help.
