The headset for a Xootr Swift and stock Swift Folder is a normal 1 1/8" threaded headset.
An integrated headset will only work in a frame specifically designed for an integrated headset. The bearings are actually seated in the frame instead of in pressed in cups. The Xootr Swift and the stock Swift Folder don't use this kind of headset. I suppose you could contact Peter Reich who could build one with that type of headtube but it would be a custom job.
They also don't normally use threadless headsets since the handlepost is removed as part of the full fold. You could use a threadless headset but then you'd need a locking headset spacer to keep the fork from falling out of the frame when the handlepost was removed. I believe this is what Jur uses on his titanium Swift's but the handlepost is also custom made and doesn't use a quick release. Since the stock fork has a threaded steerer it would also likely need to be replaced to use a threadless headset.
