Important Note About Pricing
This swingarm is a one-off custom job, commissioned directly from the original Votec frame builder. Such craftsmanship requires not just experience but a significant investment of time and skill, which is reflected in the price. It should go without saying: this is not comparable to the costs of old serial-production swingarms from years past. Quality, exclusivity, and individualized production are what make this swingarm truly special.
