CHALLENGE CONCEPT TRIKE

DESIGN

Challenge Trikes draw your attention with their shape that is recognizably Challenge without looking for the frame decal.

Challenge DNA is evident in the tri-bend frame form
with “split tube” rear stays.

The down and away
wings add to the feeling of freedom as you move
forward, gliding through your new unobstructed world.

Challenge has designed many of its own components seen throughout the front end systems, refining the excellent handling dynamics of the chassis.

Ergonomics and comfort are first rate and a full range of options place your Trike precisely into any application.

Seating is a fiberglass shell design (carbon fiber optional). Its hourglass form is 5cm wider than the typical shell seat at the butt and shoulder zones, with a nice concave internal shape. 

Ventisit or Novosport pads complete the comfort.

The Challenge Trike has very good self-stabilizing manners featuring a "central steering" format with pure Ackermann geometry. A natural desire to pull to center with tamer responses to steering input than direct systems.

Handlebars rotationally adjust to preference, and when you want to turn, response is very “all of a piece”, you definitely feel the Challenge Trike is an extension of yourself.

Cable runs are internally routed, a Challenge trademark.

Ground clearance is higher than most to clear the ostacles.

The longer wheelbase rides smooth over all types of terrain in this 26/20 format.  The Challenge Concept Trike is of the "E" series nature, ideal for touring, and is available with 2 rack systems to commute or self support tour.

Chain run is tubeless with a Challenge idler under the seat. Quiet.

CHALLENGE TRIKE ALIZE


From the Concept Trike, Challenge has continued development with the addition of the Alizé.

The Alizé brings rear suspension and a fold in half feature that is quick, easy, and compact.


The most comfortable shell seat design on the market. Several gear carrying options and and an easy to transport folding frame feature finish off.

For the minimalist, narrow format Schwalbe Durano tires, a carbon seat, boom, crank, and air shock items in the SL-II package reduce weight.

kingpin The Challenge kingpin system innovates with a multiple bearing stack, the main being an oversize industrial angular contact ball bearing for smooth steering action and vertical force absorption. A cast stainless steel housing pillar enhances structural integrity while attractively concealing the engineering in a compact space.
hub

The front rims are laced into some very interesting Challenge hubs, a design in Paul’s computer for a number of years, has come out to play on the Trike. 

A clean tapered design, it creates a blind disc flange, is strong under side load, and has some cool looking windows in the center where you can see the inner axle sleeve turn. A little fun without sacrificing strength.

Wheels mount on 17mm axles. Removing a wheel is easy, as the disc brake mounting plate comes off with the wheel.

tierod Aero profile tie rods feature clean internal cable routing, and the double thread arrangement gives easy toe-in adjustment at the ends.

Elegantly finished in anodized black.

 

wing


Wings at the front of Challenge Trikes are more than a stunning
visual. First, the forward angled design allows stepping up close
to the seat, then sitting down easily rather than falling in.

Next, the large weld surfaces of the aerodynamic wing profile at
the main frame ensure strength, while the thin vertical element
provides ‘hidden comfort’ through a vibration absorbing passive suspension, built into the FEA calculated design. Not obvious to the eye, but clear as you ride.


BIONX electric assist systems available, see our Online Store for selection.



The Alize Passes The Smart Test! The Challenge Alize is a quick fold trike, fitting behind the seats of a Smart car without removing the boom. Disassambled, the trike takes up even less space.

reardetail

More than a stunning visual, Challenge Trikes are built to be used. Two types of dedicated Racks and a sturdy mud guard system deliver high function deep into your day to day routine.




                                           

From the Sims in Australia, the most well known tadpole trike design. Introduced in the mid '90's, Greenspeed has built it's whole culture around trikes.

Sport, touring, race and tandem variations make up the line, and now the Anura has made a strong showing in the Delta scene.

Greenspeed has a stellar reputation for solid, well built trikes, top level seat design, and has been a leader in steering geometry. If you don find exactly what you like in what you see here, then Greenspeed has a Custom Shop where your ideal trike can be built.

X SPORT SERIES

The X5 was created as a sports trike first. ThenGreenspeed added the GT folding feature. A low seat base helps to lower the center of gravity for better cornering, front wheels are cambered to increase cornering grip and caster angle has been increased to improve rider feedback.

With a reclined seat (30 degrees) and awesome road holding ability, this is the perfect trike for a fast rider with the "need for speed". Great for commuting, day rides or touring with a trailer.

The wheel package includes Velocity Aerohead rims and Schwalbe Stelvio high pressure tires, if you think it was fast before...








GT1, GT3 and GT5 Folding Trikes

The Greenspeed trike experience in a 30 second fold format.  Our most popular Greenspeed series. People like the GT series for its great acceleration, excellent seat design, a significantly tighter turning circle than many brands, excellent ergonomics including a true S size that scales the whole trike to that size, frame, crank length, and seat size for a real custom fit. 19-95 gear inch range in the drive. The folded size is 32 x 28 x 15 inches.
 




ANURA
The Anura delta trike design from Greenspeed. Aluminum framed at 40#, a differential rear end for ultimate traction and handling manners that are best in its class.

The level crank position provides the best climbing power along with the ultra low rotating mass of the 16" wheels. Rans highly regarded seat is standard with the tweak of the Greenspeed shock chord mesh on the backrest and adjustable angle range of 40 - 57 degrees. 

Adjustable width handlebars with USS and the ergonomically perfect Shimano  Bar End shifter and Schlumpf SpeedDrive 2 speed crank system of the Anura SL, and the traditional drive triple crank of the Anura RL finish the Greenspeed Anura off in a way that feels just right. 2 frame sizes.

Colors: Yellow/Black, Silver/Black, Flame Red/Black, Frog Green/Black.

GTO

Available exclusively through the Greenspeed Custom Shop is the GTO which has been designed as a touring trike that you would take on a plane from country to country, pack it down via the S&S Bicycle Torque Couplings and reassemble at the other end. It comes with 406 size wheels as standard to make finding a tire in the middle of nowhere much easier. Frame material is time testedTIG welded Cromoly. Cromoly has such a great fatigue life compared to other materials and can be repaired almost anywhere should the unmentionable ever happen. With it's upright seat angle and robust 20" wheels, it also makes a fine commuter to load up with your requirements for the day or picking up the shopping on the way home.

An option to run 16" wheels with the gt - Series II NSR steering is available. Different track widths are also available as well as a wide range of gearing options starting with the 81 speed SRAM Dual Drive as standard.

The GTO is comes in many different weight and size options, so whether you're short/tall or hefty or light, Greenspeed has probably built a GTO to suit you. All this custom talk comes at a reasonable time frame of under 4 weeks in most cases.

 

The GTC option with compact 16" wheels



GTT TANDEMS

The stability and fun of a Greenspeed for 2.  The S&S Coupler's on the GTT brings things down to a transportable size.

One of our GTT riders, Paul and Kay , have just cleared 25,000 miles on their GTT with many long rides throughout the planet.

Greenspeed's are always built to last.

 


GREENSPEED GTH

Unlike other handcycle designs, the Greenspeed GTH features a tadpole type design with 2 wheels out front, and one in the rear. This makes a more stable trike at speed and while cornering.

The steering is the the same centerpoint design Greenspeed has used for years, and yields a much smaller turning circle than lean to steer designs (10'10").

By powering the rear wheel, you can now ride places that you only dreamed of, as it provides greater traction

Gearing wise, the Greenspeed GTH has 54 speeds spanning a remarkable 6-101 gear inches using the SRAM Dual Drive 3x9 rear hub with a Schlumpf 2 speed shifter in the crank. Shifting while pedaling or standing still is possible.

Braking is by 2 drum brakes in the front wheels, with dual discs as an option.

Seating is a very supported and ventilated full mesh design with lumbar and shoulder support where you sit "in" rather than "on" it for a more "one with the cycle" feel.

An adjustable leg/foot support system completes the picture.




ICE TRIKES FROM ENGLAND



ICE HPV in England has been building ICE trikes since 1998. Quality is first rate with 4130 Chrome Moly mid frames TIG welded together
and finished in very high gloss laquer overcoated powder coat finishes. The rear section and front boom are 7075 heat treated aluminum
in a durable and attractive hard anodized finish. Negative scrub radius steering for that "self centering" feeling, ICE Compact Flat Twist folding format on all models make transport easy , ICE Custom Quad Bend adjustable reach / width handlebar system, cartridge sealed bearings all around, and 1:1 actuation SRAM shifting are common to most models.

The choices of mesh or composite seating, drum or disc brakes, 20" wheels all around or 26"/700c rear triangle choices, rear and full suspension options within 3 personalities in the Adventure, Sprint, and Vortex chassis' allow you to personalize.

BIONX electric assist systems available, see our Online Store for selection.




The Adventure series is suited for touring and is an excellent choice for cruising along your favorite trails. The Adventure comes in 3 series. Adventure 1 and 1-26 are hard tails with folding rear sections in 20" and 26" rear wheel choices. The Adventure 2 and 2 FS add rear suspension and full suspension respectively along with component upgrades. The Adventure 3 and 3 FS series keep the suspension choices and step the components up one final level to Dura Ace bar end shifters and hydraulic disc brakes. 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 12.5", the seat height is at least 4.5" higher than other 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 as well as 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 an anti squat geometry for hill climbing integrity. Ice Road Response front suspension features a leading link design 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.
Exact details at the Specification and Prices link.








The Sprint series is suited for all around use but with more attitude and zoom on your mind. The Sprint comes in 3 series. Sprint 1 and
1-26 are hard tails with folding rear sections in 20" and 26" rear wheel choices. The Sprint 2 and 2 FS add rear suspension and full suspension respectively along with component upgrades. The Sprint 3 and 3 FS series keep the suspension choices and step the components up one final level to Dura Ace bar end shifters and hydraulic disc brakes. All details are shown side by side in our Specifications and Prices link below.

What brings a lot of people to the Sprint is the more aerodynamic lower and reclined seat position with corrisponding higher crank elevation. Faster, more direct power delivery also comes along with the Sprint.

Top line Schwalbe tires are included as well as an adjustable seat angle range of 28-44 degrees.


ICE Road Response rear suspension has an anti squat geometry for hill climbing integrity. Ice Road Response front suspension features a leading link design with built in anti dive geometry for smoothness without drama.

Folded dimensions:

37.8-46.9" L x 31.3" W x 19.5-24" H
depending on format.
Exact details at the Specification and Prices link.














iceqpods

 

 


Vortex stands for Quick in ICE language, and this trike delivers what its name promises. The Vortex has a performance bias in its design detail and components.

The Vortex comes in 2 series, Vortex 1 series are hard tails with folding rear sections in 20" and 700" rear wheel choices, slick Kojak tires, and aero rims. TheVortex 2 series push the Vortex faster with a carbon fiber seat upgrade, and top level SRAM X.9 / X.0 components. Dura Ace bar end shifter option is on the list too. All details are shown side by side in our Specifications and Prices link below.

To maximize the aerodynamic advantage of recumbents you need to recline your position. The hard shell seat allows you to do this more so than the mesh seat VIA ist more open hip position, dropping your shoulders out of the wind the most. If you want to go very fast you also need a solid platform for efficient power production and the hard shell seat does this best.

The contoured shape is also enhanced by a unique set of lower body side supports by ICE to improve cornering performance. Finished off with the venerable Ventisit ventilated seat pad you have ultimate ventilation and comfort.

Folded dimensions:

37.6-55.1" L x 31.3" W x 19.3-22.4" H
depending on format.
Exact details at the Specification and Prices link.

ROVER

The Rover is bringing 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 new seat. A full 4 inches higher than most other tadpole trikes on the market; it is the same height as a standard office chair.

zoomer
zoomerlogo
The Terratrike Zoomer is about.........zooming. The 6061 aluminum frame drops 3 pounds of weight from the Cruiser, the wheelbase is 3" shorter, and the track width is 4" narrower. So, more responsive generally, and then topped off with direct steering for an even more direct response.

Unlike other direct steering systems, the Terratrike system is a more elevated above seat steering arrangement with more adjustability.

RANS actually introduced the delta style recumbent trike to the market in 1976 or so. These were sail trikes and were the first recumbent's we saw from Rans when we got a brochure in the mail.

Production ceased at the beginning of the 1980's and Rans focused on recumbent bicycles and aircraft. Rans now returns to the recumbent trike with the Trizard.





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. 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.

ANGLETECH QUADRA-PED TOTAL BODY RECUMBENT TRIKES.

Quality craftsmanship, secure, fun handling, smooth "connected" feeling in the drive bring a smile to your face every time you climb in and go for a ride on a QuadraPed.

Options for performance, comfort, transport and alter-abled adaptability make these trikes the most versatile on the market.

How the QuadraPed Works.

While both arms and legs power the QuadraPed, additional muscle groups in the chest, shoulders, and back contribute to power play.

Hands or feet intuitively steer by tilting the steering column left to steer left, right to steer right. Two internal drum brakes, actuated by the crank systems, do the primary braking in an even, smooth manner.

Additionally a standard parking brake is included operating off the rear. This brake also doubles as drag brake for those long downhill runs, keeping your speed in check.

Adjustable sliding crank booms, and an easy sliding quick release seat facilitate a perfect fit. As well as the total body format, we offer individual floating leg rests for arms only or arms and one leg operation. "S" model for smaller riders is also available.



--Arrives assembled & road tested on a palate, ready to ride!
