RANS Dual 26 LWBs
Clearly RANS is putting many eggs in the Dual 26 LWB basket. I
enjoyed a short test ride of the Stratus XP about 18 months ago. I liked it. Stilll it is big! Are there Dual 26 LWB owners out there that might be willing to contrast their experiences with these bikes vs a 26/20 lwb, or a popular swb? Jim |

After I was done, no soreness or any pain. Just pure good feeling. I'm off to ride a different century every weekend in May and one double (sat & sun). |

Glad to see that the group has survived... The V2 Formula 26 is my first recumbent and the ride is superb (and quiet). He's not "that" big. I can even put it into a building "standard" elevator without diassembling anything. And once you have removed the front wheel, it is not really longer than SWBs 26x26 I choosed this LWB because I saw many advantages in LWBs in general and in the V2 in particular. - The position is not extrem, yet quite aero. - Easy adjustement. The seat is on a rail and can be moved in a flash (25cm adjustment !) with NO chain adjustement required. - Seat angle adjustable. - Very stiff "triangle" frame. - No interaction beetween pedals and front wheel while turning, even when U-turning - Chain path quite straight for the V2 and no idler on the power chain side for the V3. BTW, I'd bee intersted in feedback of V3 riders. Have fun. |
