Founded by former professional cyclist, Mark Blewett – an English-South African who had set out to design bikes with an exceptional ride quality – the brand was purchased by a Brazilian group of companies in 2017 and has since moved its headquarters to Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see South Africa as a significant market, not just due to the brand\u2019s heritage but also because of the impressive strength of the cycling scene here,\u201d says SwiftCarbon\u2019s Global Development Manager, Monica McCosh. \u201cWe are now cyclist-direct through our website and have an on-the-ground support team. Our race-winning models will also be available at various cycling events throughout the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Straightline Sport Director and Cape Town\u2019s own Jarryd Haley has been appointed to head up the brand\u2019s physical presence, marketing, sales and service operations here. \u201cAside from being heavily involved in the cycling community here as a business owner, distributor and athlete, he also has extensive experience with the brand, having been Sales and Marketing Manager for SwiftCarbon in South Africa,\u201d explains McCosh.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a `South African \u0301 brand, it is an honour to bring the bikes to their home and grow the footprint that we had worked hard to achieve previously. Being able to introduce the Racevox<\/a> is an amazing moment as it marries together the delicate blend of cutting-edge technology, performance, aesthetics and an amazing ride quality that SwiftCarbon has become renowned for.\u201d<\/p>\n
