The Screamer models are our favorite recumbent tandems. We live in hilly country, so climbing ability and high-speed stability and control are important.

Lightning strikes again with their lightest recumbent bike, the dual-suspension R-84. At 20 to 22 pounds, the carbon fiber R-84 is by far the lightest dual suspension recumbent made.

The Bacchetta Carbon Aero 2.0 is one of the lightest and fastest stock recumbents made. Our scale here at the Bicycleman says just over 21lbs with the base parts group. The Carbon Aero 2.0 looks refined and organic in the way the monotube flows and curves into the chainstays and the paint seems a step…

Longbikes has a well-deserved reputation for beautifully built, rugged USS recumbent bikes. The Slipstream’s frame is overbuilt, giving rigid and predictable handling. Longbikes is so sure of their solo recumbents they guaranteed the frames for riders up to 300 lb, 25 lb more than the LWB USS Linear Limo.

In 2005 Longbikes introduced their Short Wheel Base (SWB) – Under Seat Steering (USS) Single Eliminators! Always a standout among high-quality rugged short-wheel-base (SWB) under-seat-steering (USS) recumbents the stout frame on the Eliminator gains an adjustable pedal boom and new chain idler with easily replaceable sprockets. It makes it stiff, stable and warranted for riders…

When Terratrike introduced their Rover trike in 2010. It is a comfy, rugged trike, and the most economical Terratrike has ever offered. This trike is made to fit anybody with a 400 lb rider weight limit, an extremely adjustable frame and the highest tadpole seat I know of.

The Scorpion comes stock with the SRAM dual drive 24-speed system so you should have a wide range of ratios and can shift 3 of the gears even when stopped. I would not recommend the optional 18-speed derailleurs especially if you will be doing touring.

The pocket is the smallest trike Catrike makes. It is designed to be a performance tadpole trike with good fit and weight distribution for riders from ~5′ to ~5’8”. Riders near the shorter end of that scale may need shorter cranks than the stock 165mm arms on the pocket to eliminate heel strike on the…

Catrike began with the Road as the performance trike in the Catrike line-up. It is still their middle of the road, suits a lot of riders, versatile trike. Not a race horse, the Catrike Road has less recline than the Speed or 700, for the less radical rider. At 33 lb it’s weighs the same…
