News: Swift gets Champion Disc Bike

British road race champion Connor Swift will have a custom painted disc bike as well as his rim brake bike for the 2019 road season

As well as the customer paint work, Connor’s new bike has Shimano Dura-Ace hydraulic discs with the full Di2 9170 groupset and C60 wheels are shod with Maxxis High Road tubular tyres. There’s also a PRO finishing kit, a K-Edge chain catcher and Garmin mount, and Elite bottle cages complete the custom build.

Connor says of the bike “With Madison being the awesome company they are, I have the privilege of having a second custom national champs bike – with disc brakes! Obviously I could have gone for the same design as my original, however having Rob at Colourburn Studios remake the original wouldn’t be as fun… you can let him loose and come up with a fresh design that is just as cool and amazing as the first time round.”

Having both of the custom bikes side-by-side will be mega and I love both designs! Huge thanks to Rob and everyone at Madison. The bike features all the same little touches as the first time, but we have gone with a ‘snow camo’ champs effect with red and blue speckle in the paint. I can’t wait to see it in person!”

Uniquely, the bike will complete its debut race virtually, in round five of the Zwift KISS Super League. Fans will be able to see the bike raced on the road, when the team begin racing in March.
