Why I Chose a Swift
MR Components Chief Engineer, Mr. Michael Rogan has been designing and building recumbent vehicles for more than ten years.
Each model is tested and trialled and complies with the dimensional specifications for RACV Energy Breakthrough and Australian Pedal Prix vehicles and are regular winners at these events

Every vehicle is road tested for perfect adjustment
Michael creatively combines light weight with practicality and affordability. Other manufacturers now copy his 'all-in-one' steering. No doubt they'll copy his tool-bag headrest and anti-slap chain designs too!
Construction of standard models is with zinc plated high tensile steel. This gives superb corrosion resistance, economical construction costs and light weight. The final finish is abrasion resistant powder coating.
Seat angles are 40 degrees for the Swift and 35 degrees for the Ultra Swift. The headrest height and boom length are adjustable. The method of adjustment is so elegant that virtually no weight penalty is incurred.
The 'all-in-one' steering system that Michael developed gives extra short brake cables for decisive braking. (I can easily lock the front wheels at 30 kph.) | |
You can fit the MR Swift through bike path restrictors and standard household doorways. | |

You can get racks, mudguards or anything else you want. |
