SWI AEQUUS — CARBON ROAD FRAMESET

SWI Aequus — Swiss Carbon Technology. Italian Hands. Your Ride.

The signature 3K Herringbone carbon weave is only the beginning. Aequus is SWI’s all-round road platform, formed as one uninterrupted Unishell monocoque carbon shell. No bonded frame joints. A TPT thin-ply inner laminate. A structure that can be tuned to the rider, not just chosen from a specification sheet.

The Wheelhouse is your Canadian premium SWI dealer in Calgary, listed in SWI’s official dealer network. We bring the frame, your fit and a considered component build together in our Marda Loop showroom and workshop.

Choose Your Carbon Layup

Standard — $11,700 CAD: factory-optimized carbon layup. Custom — $14,900 CAD: twelve zones tuned to your weight, power and preferred ride feel. Custom carbon layup does not change the factory frame geometry. Both include your choice of fourteen standard finishes.

What the Frameset Includes

Frame, full-carbon fork, one-piece carbon handlebar/stem, 27.2mm seatpost, headset, seat clamp, standard finish choice, computer-mount options, UDH-compatible derailleur hangers including a spare, and bolts/hardware. The Wheelhouse confirms cockpit dimensions, seatpost offset and final included parts before order.

Frameset price only. Groupset, wheels, saddle, tyres and pedals shown in complete-bike photographs are illustrative, not included. Use the road groupset and wheel selectors to price those component additions; remaining finishing kit and assembly are confirmed in your final build.

SWI Aequus — Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy SWI in Canada?

The Wheelhouse is an officially listed SWI dealer in Calgary. Visit our Marda Loop showroom or contact us from elsewhere in Canada for fitting, build advice and destination-specific delivery.

How does Aequus differ from Aequus Leve?

Aequus has a 3K Herringbone woven outer over TPT inner carbon and a published 720–790g frame weight. Leve uses TPT unidirectional inside and out and is published at 640–710g. They share the same frame platform, seven sizes and geometry.

Can I price a complete road build?

Yes. 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.

Does custom layup mean custom geometry?

No. Custom layup changes the carbon structure across twelve zones for your weight, power and desired feel. The factory frame geometry remains unchanged.

What warranty does SWI offer?

SWI publishes a 50-year warranty on SWI-manufactured parts, subject to its current terms and assessment. Other brands’ components retain their respective warranties. Contact The Wheelhouse for current terms and warranty support; do not assume crash damage is covered.

When will my frameset arrive?

Ordered on demand. SWI currently indicates about four weeks for standard layup and eight to twelve weeks for custom layup. These are manufacturer production estimates, not guaranteed Canadian delivery dates. We confirm current production and shipping for your order.

Prices in CAD. The fixed $550 Italy-to-Canada shipping allowance is included in the rounded price. Applicable taxes and any onward delivery are additional. Photos illustrate possible builds; finishes and carbon texture may look different in person.
