SWI is unique in building Unishell Monocoque carbon bicycle frames. A Unishell Monocoque is a frame that is one uninterrupted carbon shell formed in a single mould. Although this method is complex, time consuming and expensive, it produces a frame of unbeatable structural integrity and performance. Unlike mass produced modular monocoque carbon frames and tube to tube builders, a SWI Unishell Monocoque frame is seamless – it has no joins, lugs, bonding or glue. This enables the unidirectional carbon fibres to be connected all around the frame without any obstruction, reducing vibrations and resulting in the most efficient transfer of power from pedal stroke into forward motion, creating a sensation of the bike ‘coming alive’ under the rider.

For the first time, the strongest, lightest and most advanced carbon composite material used by the most innovative machines in space and on land is available for cyclists exclusively with SWI. TPT™  is a Swiss developed high performance carbon textile made by the Swiss company North Thin Ply Technology.

This textile is the DNA and power behind every SWI frame. An exceptionally dense carbon textile, it is used for carbon yacht racing sails, race yacht foils, the carbon chassis of F1 cars and Moto GP superbikes.

In only 1mm of thickness there are 14 layers of carbon, compared to the standard carbon fiber used in bicycle frame building which only has 5 layers. Each individual micro layer of TPT™ is precisely aligned in 4 different directions. 0, 90, +45, -45 degrees to add further strength. The TPT™ is then impregnated with a special resin that allows for high pressure moulding at 6 bars in an Autoclave airtight oven, compressing the carbon fibres significantly beyond standard carbon frames, producing unmatched strength, durability and safety whilst minimising weight. The result is a frame possessing an exceptional stiffness to weight ratio creating a noticeably reactive ride feel.
