SEQUOIA

Rans has a 6'7 guy on staff. He needed a Crank Forward of his scale. The Sequoia was born. A Dynamik spec bike done for the big guy.

Longer rear oversize stays and oversize down tube deliver power without flex. Weight distribution improves for the tall rider, placing more weight toward the front. Curved down top tube makes it easier to get on and off, especially with a load.

 

 

The Adventure series is suited for touring and is an excellent choice for cruising along your favorite trails. The Ergo Flow mesh seat sets the stage with ergonomic side bolsters, contoured bottom pad, and zipper sealed upper compartment. The Adventure comes in 3 series, Adventure is a hard tail with a folding frame. The Adventure RS adds rear suspension along with component upgrades and a broader gear range. The Adventure FS is full suspension, and the Adventure FS+ steps the components up one final level to SRAM TT500 bar end shifters, 9-34 10 speed cassette, hydraulic disc brakes, and standard disc parking brake. All details are shown side by side in our Specifications and Prices link below.

What brings a lot of people to the Adventure is the unique seat / crank relationship compared to other "tadpole" trikes. At 12", the seat height is at least 4.5" higher than many tadpole designs so getting in and out is easier. The crank position is lower than your hips as well, so if you always liked the tadpole format, but preferred the lower crank position, the Adventure is your trike.

Top line Schwalbe tires are included on the RS and FS trikes. An adjustable seat angle range of 44-49 degrees. Ground clearance is 7", so off road temptations along the way are an easy choice.

ICE Road Response rear suspension has 4" of travel and anti squat geometry for hill climbing integrity. Ice Road Response front suspension features a leading link design, 1.57" of travel with built in anti dive geometry for smoothness without drama.

Folded dimensions:

37.4-46.5" L x 31.3" W x 22.4 - 24.8" H depending on format.
