Radon Swoop One Year Review: Is It Still Worth Buying?
After riding the Radon Swoop 9.0 for a full year, I’m sharing my thoughts on its performance, durability, and whether it’s still worth buying in 2024. From trails to downhill rides, I’ve put this bike to the test-find out if it’s the right choice for you!

The only thing wrong with this bike is the ridiculous seat tube in the size XL frame. Absolutely nuts. This is not an XC bike, Radon. Fix it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Radon (or Bike Discount) will contact you to ask putting this video under Swoop description :) I own Slide trail 8 for over 3600km (almost 2years) - had only to replace DUB BB bearings (could be my fault, could be bad SRAM bearing). Replaced all frame bearings after over 3500km harsh condition riding (mud, rain, snow, bikeparks) - only one had issue, two were in poor condition, rest were good enough. One thing which annoys me a little - is MT5 rear brake. They are powerful brakes, but with loads of use (see above) I had to often do oil change or top up (if in Bikepark) as oil would turn dirty quite quickly if doing alpine riding. I like the bike and brand so much that I just ordered Swoop AL 9. Thanks for making this video and answering about the headset, need to check if 2024 model uses same headset. I was shopping around for about 2 months to see if anyone can come close to components vs price - no one come close enough to warrant a purchase.
did you service bearings, how they feel after a year, cuz i own canyon spectral:on for less than a year, and bearings eat dirt, and didn’t have any lube inside after 1k km. i was very surprised with this fact after owning cannondale for years.
my flight from south africa to morzine is 14 hours
Half a day of travel haha 😅 I bet you is still worth
@@MiguelSousaMTB Yeah lmfao Ive been 3 times haha
era lindo trazeres o beto dh e o kara davis a lisboa
Epahhh, isso era de valor sim. Fazer um conteúdo com eles, pode até estar a caminho 😉
🔥🔥🔥
awesome trail. is there a shuttle for this trail system?
Hey, Yes there is. Just speak with WeRide Portugal or Rent4Trail. They both do rentals and shuttles in the Sintra areas. Contact them and they’ll be more than happy to help you out 😉
I am sorry to ask not exactly about your riding (which is obviously epic! :) ), but I wanted to ask about your comment on one of previous videos. You mentioned some plastic peace in the headset or around the bearing. Would you be able to elaborate on that part? I am about to order Swoop 9 AL 2024 model and a bit worried/interested about that part. I won't be sending it as you do, but it's good to know what to look at for future.
Hey, Don’t worry, since many of my viewers keep on asking me about my Radon Swoop. This week I’ll post a full review after a year of use of my bike. I’ll go over all the problems and plus of the bike. Stay tuned 😉
Miguel, muito bom! Parabéns! 👏🏻👏🏻
Tenho que lá voltar com a malta
Mandaram muito bem!
🤘🤘🤘
Incrivel meu puto, bravissimo!
Próximo ano vais connosco 😉

Fica para a segunda vez. Temos que ir lá descobrir aquilo
estava a ver que o Panda não ia aparecer!!! Ganda pandaaaa BAAAANGEEEERRRR!
Hahahah o Panda é que foi tudo
Love your energy! Great rides!
Thanks mate, much more coming soon... Keep shredding!

Epic content :) Looks like I am going to avoid Chatel as my jumping is pretty much non existing. Can clear some small jumps, thats about it :) There is not much other trails apart jump lines there I assume? The two guys who usually rode at the back (one who went nose heavy beforehand) were barely making some jumps or were landing on rear wheel (almost manualing). I am just curious, do you give them some tips of camera about their 'near misses' or you guys just shred it further. Fair play to them to go with you everywhere, but I was holding my fingers crossed that crash is not gonna cost them dearly. Can I ask you few questions about the bike (I am about to order Swoop 9 AL): Did you use a frame protector wrap, if yes, which one? What was with the headset, did you have to replace bearing or just clean/regrease and retighten it?
Châtel certainly is next level. A bit of experience is a must. I wrapped the Radon myself, bought a roll of vinyl and cut it to size. Fully wrapped now. The headset is a problem of the cups that hold the bearings are made out of plastic. Will probably buy a new headset to fix further issues
@@SergejGrabun we shredded all the way! Ahaha! Until I went to the pile of trees 😅 There is no “near misses”, it’s either a failed death attempt or content for UA-cam 🤣
Hahaha 🤘
"Great video!!!! The trails at Morzine look like an adrenaline-fueled dream, and those jumps are at the next level. Brave riders! Definitely adding Morzine to my bucket list!"
Thanks mate! It’s certainly one for the bucket list, you won’t regret it 🤘
Gerat video! For some months ago I´ve sold my Slide Trail 8.0. At the moment running the Giant Reign SX 2022 - an ultimate enduro race machine but I will back to Radon. The Swoop is much lighter (ca 15,5kg vs 17.5kg) and I am thinking about the Swoop 9.0 2024 (graylit/black). The only con´s is the place for the bottle - it´s really s***t! But, design, components, reviews... are just awesome! After 8 months still happy with the bike? Best from Austria! Drago
Hey, thanks! Very happy with this Radon, doesn’t have a bottle holder but it fits me perfectly. Had a Canyon Torque and a Mondraker Supperfoxy before and this one just does it for me. Very playfull and still stable on high speed. Haven’t had noticeable problems to date. Keep shredding 🤘
“Uma pessoa já não pode cair sossegado” 😂 Concordo senhores do bike park! Fiz um dói dói no dedo porque não cai sossegado !
Hahahah XD
Nice vid bro Good skills 😉
Thanks mate 🙌
Bem Miguel, tenho essencialmente 2 palavras para te "atirar" á cara: Que INVEJA!!!!!!!! Lol! Aproveita cada seg, meu caro. Contudo, no que respeita a Bike Parks, tenho 2 objectivos em mente que não morro sem cumprir...1- Leogang, Austria, guiar até lá com familia e parceiros deixar mulher e filha naquele fabuloso hotel com uma infinity pool com a melhor vista possivel das montanhas Austríacas e ir curtir TODOS aqueles trilhos e, claro...Canadá, Whistler!!!! Recuso-me a morrer enquanto não descer desde Top of The world até lá abaixo e tentar, pelo menos, todos os trilhos técnicos que não me queiram matar...Lol! Tu, aparentemente, nasceste para trilhos de flow com saltos. Diverte-te! E por favor...não caias, agora que já tens o pulso perfeito. Abraço desde Coimbra!
Haha, obrigado. Tenho os mesmos dois sonhos. Whistler e Áustria são grandes marcos sem dúvida! Mais uns amigos em cima e completamos esses objetivos 🤘 Vou me preservar haha, por este ano já basta de dose de hospital 😅
Se vires como realizá-los não já, mas daqui a algum tempo apita! Sou gajo! Mas confesso-te Miguel...hj comecei a minha introdução oficial ao enduro, ainda para mais na vertente de DH com um rapaz da minha idade que passou o último quarto de séc a competir, oficial e não oficialmente, e que trata qualquer descida, literalmente qualquer descida Miguel, como um passeio no parque. E...foi desesperante, Miguel...Obviamente que não tencionava conseguir acompanhar alguém desse nivel( e eu não sabia que ele tinha esse nivel...) na 1ra vez que literalmente "tirava os 3" á Stumpjumper mas, ver alguém a descer "quase paredes verticais" em terra solta e degraus de metro, metro e meio como se fosse a coisa mais simples e natural do planeta foi um chapada de humildade da qual ainda estarei a recuperar nos próximos dias...Para ajudar á festa ontem magoei a coluna, dormi pouco hj e acordei cedo, todo contracturado muscularmente. Pedalar aliviou um pouco. Nas partes em que pedalei, claro! Pq essencialmente a minha manhã foi passada a realizar-me o qto eu tenho de evoluir para conseguir fazer estes trilhos de Vale de Canas a descer. Já tenho uma visita marcada para o meu osteopata este Dom de manhã mas, trabalhar 6af e sáb vai ser um calvário. Qto a ti, diverte-te, mto e se algum dia quiseres descer, a sério, ou tiveres algum desejo maluco de te "enfaixares" de bicicleta dá-me uma apitadela. Fiquei a saber "first hand experience" um bom sitio para destrinçar "homens de meninos". E por enquanto ainda sou menino. Mto tenho de evoluir, fisica e mentalmente...Nota + para a minha stumpjumper evo! Bicicleta notável, cujo único defeito é o rider que tem em cima. Abraço desde Coimbra!
Ahh, só desci da bicicleta 2x e não me matei nem caí...Mas ohh Jesus...O nivel daqueles trilhos era assustador...
Ias muito devagarinho 🐌
Sou um gajo lento😅
Great video and edit 🤟 subbed
Thanks mate 🤘
topppp
A facilidade que fazes a curva do A1 🤦♂️!! Até parece fácil .💪
Alto vídeo... 💥🤘🙂
🤘🤘🤘
I've been eager to hit the trails in Morzine for a long time. I plan to go with the crew at the end of September, and I'm open to any tips! Hektik is TOP, bro!
Hey, Thanks a lot. If I had to give any tips would be to stay at a place in the center of Morzine. Everything is close by, there’s pubs and parties at night, and the proximity to all the lifts is within a 5min pedal away. If you’re more experienced and like jumps, I would recommend spending 2 full days on Châtel Park. Those lines are insane! Pleney is a very cool spot if you know someone who knows the off-track trails. They’re vertical, natural and fun and you won’t run out of them for a whole week.
Thanks for the tips, bro!
@@jakubzavisek3848 No worries!
Are you riding Radon Swoop 9 AL? If I am not mistaken you have MT5 brakes? How do you find them in bikeparks? Does your oil get dirty after a day or two (like 3 - 6000m descending) I currently own Radon Trail Slide 8 and about to order Swoop 9 AL for bikeparks.
Hey, Yes, this is a Swoop 9 and yes I have the MT5 brakes from Magura. I’ve ridden 5 days straight on the bike park and didn’t have a single problem with them. Strongly recommend them.
@@MiguelSousaMTB thanks for replying. The thing is. I have MT5 as well. My bike is above 3000km now and rear brake is giving me trouble. The oil is getting very dirty. In Alps I had to do quick bleeds each day.
Great video bud! Morzine is a blast!
If you are interested in riding the hidden singletrack gems in this area drop me a line next time you are here. Check out Chatel and Morgins which a way better than Morzine ;)
Uuuu, like to try those. I’ll hit you up next time I come around 🙌
Lindoooo🔥🔥🔥 Deserto para ver os próximos, lumeee 🤟🏼
Yeahhh 🤘
Epic trails! 2025 edition coming??
Yessir
Bom vídeo... excepto, e eu sei que mostrar vídeos a descer dá mais views porque é mais dramático, mas MTB é mais do que só DH.
Sem dúvida alguma, a pedalar é que ficamos fortes!
"Bora, bora, mamas de fora!" 😂
Hahaha quem sabe sabe
Obrigado Miguel! Muito decente da tua parte de me responderes. Fico descansado por não ter gasto uma "fortuna" nuns MT7 Pro ou nuns Sram Code Ultimate. Consegui arranjar uns Code RSC para a próxima "menina" que aí vem, que infelizmente não será outra Specialized, mas sim uma Propain Tyee CF. E esses Sram encontrei-os quase dados...E já mta gente encontrou melhor "mordida" com pastilhas Galfer em mts travões e tou a ver que não é mito urbano. Em todo o caso, aquela Stumpjumper, travões, pastilhas e discos tem 22 km de parque da cidade...Lol! Vou dar uma oportunidade a isto tudo de rolar e acamar e não trocar já de pastilhas senão o meu mecânico pensa que sou doidinho. E a minha Stumpjumper ía-te dar umas extrasistoles cardíacas...Como mta gente neste mundo tu és um rapaz que gosta do seu branco, do seu preto, nada de extravagâncias. Na minha o único componente que comprei todo negro( e eu comprei todas as peças daquela bicicleta até aos parafusos...) é o Dropper Syncros Duncan 1.5S. E vou voltar a comprar um de 180mm para a Propain - bom material. De resto, só tenho cor..Lol! E gostava imenso de te fazer uma visita aí em baixo. Deixa ver se convenço o "Deus" do XCO amador de Viseu, com quem tiraste uma foto em Vouzela, para irmos os 2 aí gastar algum pneu contigo. Temos é que lhe pedir para se conter porque o Tiaguinho Clamote, mesmo aos 44 anos ainda foi 5to este ano no Mountain Quest. E já ganhou aquilo há poucos anos...Bem, agora estou a divagar, peço desculpa. Abraço apertado desde Coimbra e, se não te importares, vou dando nots.
No way my mtnbike UA-cam algorithm got me here, I broke my right wrist aswell last April while aggresive inline skating and it's been 3 months and feels soo greeat, I could totally feel your hype in this video!! Btw those trails look very fun to ride! Saludos desde España!
Hey hey, Yeahhh, that feeling of coming back is something else🙌 Need to go check the trails in España tho, only been on La Pinilla Bike Park so far
Hektik week? Glad you're back, bro.
Many things happening on this upcoming week, just keep an eye on my instagram 😉
Bom vídeo 🤟
Obrigado 💪
