It’s very hard to find info on these bikes. I have a radon swoop 170 from 2017. I’m wondering what the geometry would be like with some double crown forms and if it has been done. If anyone knows anything let me know, thanks.

I’d say to find out the geometry of this bike and find a bike with similar geometry and find out info about that one if it’s more popular, it’ll be easier to find out about it
Just don’t put double crowns on a swoop, no reason to
If you get a double crown just make sure travel can be reduced to 180mm and the axle to crown is not far off from the existing one, 10-20mm more is usually a no problem.
You will need the right headset, iirc only the RUX comes tapered, all the others come with a straight tube, so have that in mind.
I get the double crown craze, more volume on the airspring, more supple feel… But a DH bike will only be replicated with a proper DH bike. No compromises on the suspension kinematics or geometry.
It’ll make a fun freeride bike though.
