Performance carbon frame company SwiftCarbon has just revealed two new 2017 road models at the Taipei Cycle Show. With the intention of sitting over the top of the current Ultravox Ti, there are two new Ultravoxs: the disc-equipped DSQ and the superlight SSL built with TeXtreme carbon.
As these are set for the next product season, details as pricing and frame weights are still to be confirmed. This release comes just weeks after the first sight of SwiftCarbon’s first aero road bike, the Hypervox.
