Swofinty's bike design is a renewed appreciation of bicycles as a piece of art. The conception of the prototype design is a mixture of curiosity and pleasure. This is a functional art for those who are seeking an unusual addition all in one bike which is designed for riding on the road efficiently and specifically focuses on the precision, responsive handling, aesthetic and nimbleness.



Swofinty learned the importance of the fundamental physical law which influenced the whole design. The radical hand-brazed frame geometry consists of 2 structures principle, the arc form space frame combinations of multiple diamonds and the 'cosmodrome' launcher inspired contributes to the identity and rigidity. The design is complex, however understated. The advantages of this integration are lighter, significantly stronger and stiffer than an equivalent design made using more traditional methods. An open top frame design for convenience, is offset by a unique suspension system front and rear to improve rider comfort where act as a medium to reduce the transfer of road imperfections and increased safety. Swofinty is delighted and intrigued by the efficiency and liveliness of lightweight stainless steel tubing being used as the main material for the frame and forks due to its many desirable properties such as corrosion resistant, high tensile strength, durability, easy formability and fabrication, low-maintenance, attractive appearance, and environmentally friendly (recyclable).



The bike came in one size, yet rode like a big-wheeled road bike, advantages of the small wheel reduces the overall length of the bicycle, making it easier to transport due to its compactness. The use of high-pressure tyres, resulting in less rolling resistance and lower aerodynamic drag. Additional features make riding more comfortable like adjustable handlebars stem (optional), seat posts and the electric driven kit is made available.



The metaphor of the design is like the light-house, the ride quality is something special that allows you to navigate throughout the journey. Swofinty believed the bike offers an enduring alternative, optimal pleasure, wonderful experience and complete with surprises.
