The Bike Tailor Brings Monocoque Mastery to the UK With SWI

7th January, 2026
There are nice bikes, then there are the masterpieces SWI is creating. Engineered in Switzerland and crafted in Italy, SWI’s creations take bespoke to the next level, offering customisation right down to the layup of the carbon. The brand specialises in monocoque construction, which, for the uninitiated, means the frame is composed of one seamless, fluid piece of carbon fibre, entirely free of joints. What does that mean for you, the cyclist? In short, one of the most efficient and powerful rides money can buy, and we’re excited to announce that The Bike Tailor is now one of two official SWI dealers in the UK.

No Lost Watts

True monocoque construction is a rare thing. That’s because it’s rather expensive and difficult to do well. SWI has got the process down to a fine art, which means its bikes benefit from all the properties that make this production technique so special. They’re incredibly stiff, far stronger than a conventional tube-to-tube frame, and with unparalleled power transfer. You sometimes hear people say a certain bike ‘just goes’ when you push the pedals, and that’s what you get here in its purest form.
