Visit our Marda Loop showroom or contact us from elsewhere in Canada for fitting, build advice and destination-specific delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does Aequus Leve differ from Aequus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeve uses TPT unidirectional inside and out and is published at 640–710g. Aequus has a 3K Herringbone woven outer over TPT inner carbon and a published 720–790g frame weight. They share the same frame platform, seven sizes and geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I price a complete road build?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Our road groupset and wheel choices add their component prices to your selected frameset configuration. The Wheelhouse confirms the complete specification and any additional finishing kit or labour; selecting a groupset and wheels does not automatically include every component of a complete bicycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes custom layup mean custom geometry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Custom layup changes the carbon structure across twelve zones for your weight, power and desired feel. The factory frame geometry remains unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does SWI offer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSWI publishes a 50-year warranty on SWI-manufactured parts, subject to its current terms and assessment. Other brands’ components retain their respective warranties.
