Imagine having a system that makes it easy to mount and dismount wheels.

Imagine never having to worry about disc brake and gear maintenance again when you take your wheels off.

Imagine having a wheel completely detached from brake discs and sprocket sets.

The Project

From idea to practice

SWS is an innovative system born from the need to simplify the world of cycling by making wheel changes easier, faster, and safer than ever. With this new system, there’s no more fiddling with the chain or adjusting the brake disc: with SWS, you can change wheels in seconds, without getting dirty and without compromising the bike’s performance.

How does it work?

  • Pull the wheel downwards

    We position the wheel to have a downward extraction (a mark on the wheel with a colored spoke or the position of the valve can allow us to do this quickly).

  • Loosen the axle

    Loosen the axle completely and pull it out until it stops, as it does not need to be pulled out completely to prevent it from falling and getting dirty.

  • Insert the new wheel

    Once the wheel has been removed by lifting the bike downwards, the new wheel can be inserted.

  • Tighten the axle

    Finally, push the axle back and tighten it. It’s not necessary to position the chain on the last sprocket; in fact, it’s best for the cyclist to position the chain on the most suitable sprocket before stopping to make moving off more easily.

SWS System Components

Single wheel hub

The wheel hub is the heart of the SWS system. It is made of 7075 Ergal aluminum and features a lightweight and durable design. The hub is compatible with most drivetrains on the market.

SWS System Components

Disc holder support

The disc brake mount is attached to the frame and houses the brake disc. It is made of 7075 Ergal aluminum and features a rigid and lightweight design. The mount is compatible with various types of brake discs.

SWS System Components

Cassette Holder

The cassette sleeve is attached to the frame and houses the cassette. It is made of 7075 Ergal aluminum and features a lightweight and durable design. The sleeve is compatible with various cassettes.

SWS System Components

Oversized thru axle

The thru-axle has a larger diameter than standard axles, which offers several advantages in terms of performance and safety. The increased rigidity of the axle translates into better power transmission from the pedal to the wheel. Furthermore, the increased rigidity improves strength and safety compared to standard axles.

Vantages

An experience like no other

The SWS system is a true revolution in the world of cycling. With its simplicity, efficiency, and safety, it is destined to become the standard for bicycles of the future.

Quick wheel change

SWS allows you to change wheels quickly and effortlessly, even in a race.

Greater freedom

Thanks to the wheel hub interface, you will be free to choose the type of wheel, braking system or transmission to mount on your bicycle.

Better performance

The customization options and ease of assembly and disassembly will allow you to focus solely on your cycling performance.

Less wear and tear

The wheels will be less vulnerable to damage and wear thanks to the fact that the disc and cassette are integrated into the frame.

Ease of transport

You can remove both wheels from your bike for transport. When assembling it, you won’t need to adjust the chain or brakes.

Safety and reliability

The SWS system is designed to be safe and reliable. The wheel is securely attached to the frame, even if the axle is loose.
