Titanium is the ideal material for an endurance road bike: it combines the lightness of aluminum, the flexibility of steel, and the corrosion resistance of carbon. It offers unparalleled comfort over long distances and exceptional durability: no risk of rust, no structural fatigue, and a lifetime warranty from CYKL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a titanium road bike?
What is the difference between a classic road bike and an endurance bike?
An endurance road bike is designed for long distances. It offers a more comfortable position (higher stack/reach), increased stability and often accepts wider tires (up to 35 mm on the SWIIFT) to absorb vibrations and ride smoothly on rough roads or all-road courses.
What does a bike like the SWIIFT allow?
The SWIIFT is a titanium road frame designed for endurance. It combines performance (drivetrains up to 52T, dynamic geometry), comfort (hydroformed top tube, carbon or titanium fork), and versatility (700x35C tires, three bottle cage mounts, dropper seatpost option). It's the perfect bike for riding far, fast… and for a long time.
How long will it take to get my bike?
What's the point of buying a bike if you're not going to use it in eight months or next year? All our bikes and components are in stock year-round. However, we do have to take into account the potential disruptions caused by our suppliers and carriers for other components that aren't our brand.
Our average delivery time is 5-8 weeks. We strive to support you throughout your order and respond to all your messages.
Where are your frames manufactured?
Our titanium frames are manufactured in China , in one of the few factories capable of mastering 3D printing, CNC machining, forging and hydroforming of titanium .
We design all our frames and parts in-house , then we carry out the anodizing, laser engraving and final quality control of your bike in Montpellier .
Our approach is not one of “Made in France” at all costs, but one of engineering, pragmatism and transparency .
Can I customize the editing?
Absolutely.
Each bike is assembled to order, according to your desires, your needs, your playground and of course your budget.
What you can customize:
- Complete configuration, thanks to our online configurator, a call with our teams, or a visit to our showroom.
Each component is selected to work in perfect synergy with the frame, geometry, and your riding style. No compromises, no mismatched parts. - The design is also customizable: opt for anodization and/or custom laser engraving for a unique finish, sober or bold, but always elegant.
- Transmission, wheels, cockpit, seat post, tires: you choose, we advise.
Who is an endurance road bike made for?
For all cyclists who prioritize distance, comfort, and reliability. Whether you're training for a 200 km, a randonneuring certificate, or long weekend rides, a bike like the SWIIFT is designed to meet your expectations... without hurting your back.
Can the SWIIFT be converted into gravel?
Yes. The SWIIFT and the RAAVE share the exact same frame. The only difference is in the fork: by replacing the road fork (carbon or titanium) with a gravel fork, you get a more open bike, compatible with tires up to 700x47c. Ideal if you want to alternate between road and trails.
