Today, Radon is showing off their new enduro weapon, the Swoop, which is entirely revised starting from the carbon construction of the frame’s front end, including new geometry and a new suspension scheme, based on a Horst link but now with a horizontal shock absorber.
The frame is the same for all three specs available, with a carbon fiber front triangle and an aluminum alloy rear end. The main features remain the same as those of the aluminum Swoop, with 170mm of travel on both front and rear suspension mated to 29-inch wheels. The head angle is adjustable thanks to a variable angle headset.
