Unlike 99% of carbon frames, which are produced by bonding multiple carbon tubes and pieces, SWI utilises a unique patented, full monocoque construction process, which uses a single mould and produces a finished frame as a single uninterrupted carbon shell. This results in a lighter, stiffer, stronger, and more precisely aligned frame than is possible with bonding.

NTPT™ Carbon Textile
The AEQUUS is constructed using high-performance carbon textiles from the Swiss-based composite supplier North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT). SWI is the only bicycle manufacturer in the world utilizing NTPT high-performance carbon textiles, which have an exceptionally dense unidirectional carbon weave of up to 29 ply, while the average carbon fibre fabric is only 4 to 5 ply. As a result, the NTPT fabric produces a significantly higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than typically seen in frame manufacturing.

Internal layers of unidirectional carbon fibre to provide extraordinary stiffness
The weight and stiffness of the frame can be tailored to the rider based on the selection of NTPT textiles and the number of layers used.
