Tandem Recumbent Bikes, Trikes, and Crank Forward

The Power of Two!

Tandems bring two people together on one bike. The benefits are that two people of differing performance can be together on a ride without waiting for one another, can enjoy conversation easy, can break the wind of only one bike resulting in faster cruising speeds. At Angletech we bring you the broadest range of tandem choices. Recumbent tandem bikes from Rans & AZUB, recumbent tandem trikes from Greenspeed, Rans, and Terratrike, side by side from Pacific, upright/recumbent blend from Harmony, and Crank Forward tandems from Rans.

RANS has built what has become the most favored recumbent tandem designs available starting with the Screamer in 1995, and joined by the Seavo in recent years. Truss type frame designs for torsional rigidity, world class seating choices, and excellent handling make these tandems a long term choice.

 

SEAVO

Bringing ultimate performance to the recumbent tandem in 5 flavors. Dual 26 format helps speed via better aerodynamics, better climbing position, friendlier handling, and the gyroscopic pull of the 26" front wheel.

The B39 cockpit position is more open and relaxed. Alternatively, we also offer the B37 which gives a more outboard angled grip zone for a better turning radius. The stoker seat sits lower and raises the crank position relative to the hips. This engages more of your back provided better power in all situations, and is easier reach the ground.

The efficient frame design, light, carbon pan fold flat seats, and aluminum fork keep the weight in check.

Available with 2 S&S couplers as the TR series, the Seavo can separate into 2 pieces for easier transport.

Transit cases are also available with roll up capability at your destination.



Details of the ANGLETECH SEAVO GRAND TOUR show DaVinci V23 triple chamber rim, Schwalbe Kojak tires, XT SGS rear derailleur, Terracycle Ti -Ceramic idlers, KMC X.9 chain, silicone stoker grips.

WHY WE SPEC THE WAY WE DO

From our Rocky Mountain perspective, 203mm disc brakes prevent heat build up on the rims, the hand built wire wheels are lighter, rider smoother, and are quieter than composite wheels, though we are happy to offer Aerospoke wheels.  Hubs and bottom bracket bearings are Phil Wood, the best in the world, and the Cane Creek Classic headset is a lifetime component on the Grand Tour. Sport Tour spec goes to Velocity Tandem wheels and FSA MegaExo cranks at a more modest price.

For self contained touring you can also choose a disc front / rear with auxulary V Brake rear when you want some extra power to keep things reeled in.

The Terracycle idler systems complete the mission for the best bearing systems. Durable and much quieter.

All tandems are assembled, road tested and sized, then shipped to you with a short list of steps to make ready to ride.


700C wheel specs.

For ultimate speed, look into our ANGLETECH SEAVO XHO 700 with disc brakes, Rolf-Prima Tandem wheels, carbon tandem fork, and high performance rubber.  For touring at a faster clip than the 26 version, look at the HO 700 shown here.

SCREAMER

A great design that provides those great Rans seats, reasonable size, and a triangulated frameset to keep the wiggles out at at 47 pounds! The Screamer has a level crank position out front, and low position at the rear. Available with 2 S&S couplers to break your Screamer in two as the TR series.

Transit cases are also available with roll up capability at your destination.

Further, our SPORT TOUR and GRAND TOUR bikes have disc brakes front and rear, plus all crank and wheel bearings are Phil Wood on the GRAND TOUR, the best. Independent Pedaling System is standard on the GRAND TOUR as well.

Dear Kelvin,

"The Screamer TR is a great bike. My wife and I as well as our kids are really enjoying it. My wife says it seems "illegal" to enjoy riding as much without the sore butt, neck, and hands. It is her first experience with a recumbent. She is sold! We are planning a trip to Prince Edward Island with the Screamer for a 10 day tour. Thanks again."

RANS DYNAMIK DUO

The Dynamik Duo Crank Forward tandem. Good climbing, comfortable seats, easy reach to the ground while seated, and no wrist/hand loading. True dirt road touring abilities. Factory spec, Angletech Grand Touring and Sport Touring.

Many handlebar and stem configurations.

 

 

RANS TRIZARD

In performance trikes, tadpoles have come to dominate the market. Rans background is in delta trike design, and Randy decided there was room to develop a low / fast delta design to run with the tadpoles.

The Trizard has a long wheelbase with a 9" seat height and the very comfortable Hoagie euro style seat for a low profile to the wind as well as a more vertically angled Sling Mesh option. The crank is also friendly to the low into the wind profile as well as in a powerful position for climbing leverage.

Seating is in a fixed position with a minor 2" adjustment range, keeping the handling dynamics good for any size rider. The frames modular construction allows the front portion of the frame to slide along the "boom tube" to bring fit into perfection. Another benefit of the modular construction is the Trizard can be completely dissassembled for travel and transport.

Underseat steering for easy in and out and that unobstructed view of the world. Quick release wheels all around finish off the Trizard.

Connect 2 Trizard's together and you have a TRIZARD DUO tandem! Independent cadence, easy switch from tandem to individual trikes, lower priced than a dedicated tandem trike format.

 


 

 

TRIZARD DUO tandem setup
AZUB. From the Czech Republic, a recumbent company focused mainly on expedition recumbent cycles. When Honza from AZUB visited us with 3 cycles, we were impressed with the high quality workmanship, beefy construction, especially in critical areas like the rear swing arm area where AZUB has tried as many as 22 variations in the design process of some models. A universal AZUB quality is their amazingly quiet drive train systems.

The Rover is bringing tandem triking to the masses! With its higher seat, tighter turning radius, easy adjustability and simple assembly / dis-assembly to allow for easy transport.

The main feature of the Rover is it's seat height, a full 4 inches higher than most other tadpole trikes on the market; it is the same height as a standard office chair.

The seat is also fitted with a special adjustment clamp allowing for quick adjustments from very short sizes to very large sizes - all with the quick flip of a lever.

 

HARMONY Semi-Recumbent tandem.

In its 5th generation since 1983, the original alternative tandem design, the Harmony, offers a number of benefits over the traditional road tandem.

Stoker moves from second to first class.

Instead of being in the back, the Harmony design moves the stoker to the front with an unobstructed view and a comfortable mesh seat. The hands free riding position also facilitates map handling, hand signals, picture taking, or snack preparation.

Independent pedal cadence.

The stoker may also choose his or her own pedal cadence, or stop pedaling if desired. This is accomplished in the gearing at the Cadence Modulator.

Communication.

Communication with the pilot is enhanced by having both riders’ heads closer together.

The captain is not left out of the benefit package either:

Improved handling and control.

Handling the Harmony at low speeds is easier and lighter than an upright tandem. High speed handling is also remarkable stable and secure. The feel of the Harmony is very much like a loaded touring single bike, so learning the bikes’ handling characteristics takes little time.

Versatility!

You can ride with any size of adult, or a KidFrontSystem which accommodates riders down to 4 years old. Special needs applications work great here with the Handcrank or Hand/Footcrank stoker option. This means that the Harmony will be used more often, and by more people than a traditional tandem.The Harmony is such an integrated design, that it is impossible to separate individual features and say "there, that’s what makes it tick." Whether it is functional, structural, mechanical, or interpersonal, all of the features of this cycle work together to give you a great riding experience.
