Origin
The Swoop is Radon's gravity statement — designed from the start for big mountain and enduro riding. While earlier versions used a 27.5" wheel platform, the current generation moved to 29-inch to improve high-speed roll-over and braking stability. Short 438 mm chainstays keep the bike playful despite the long wheelbase, and the rotatable headset gives riders meaningful geometry flexibility without replacing parts. Fox Factory suspension across the top builds delivers enduro-race performance at direct-to-consumer pricing.

The verdict
+Strengths

- Alloy rear triangle adds weight versus full-carbon construction
- High-speed stability focus means less nimble on tight, slow technical trails
