Radon has been around in its native Germany for a while. But it’s only recently that our UK test team has begun getting aboard the direct-sell brand's machines.
It's fair to say that Radon has most categories and sub-categories of mountain biking covered – all the way down ro ‘Superenduro’, which is where the Swoop 170 comes in.
Flexible, high-value setup
The Swoop delivers 170mm (6.7in) of rear wheel travel, controlled via a RockShox Vivid Air R2C shock, which offers external beginning and end stroke rebound damping adjustment along with a low-speed compression dial. The Vivid Air’s lowest anchor point is where the Swoop’s flip chip can be found.

The RockShox Vivid Air shock tracks and smooths the terrain seriously well
This enables you to switch between Tour, Trail and Park modes, each of which alters the head angle by 0.5 degrees and the BB height by about 6mm. There’s a mix of internal and external cable routing, 12x148mm rear axle spacing and room for a bottle.
Smooth on the rough stuff
