Long Wheelbase Recumbents
Photos and Descriptions



A NOTE TO OUR INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD A LONG WHEELBASE BIKE TO YOUR RECUMBENT SELECTION, WE SHIP TO YOU.  ASK FOR A QUOTE. 
 

  

Randy Schlitter has been designing and building recumbent bikes in Hayes, Kansas since 1976 beginning with the Classic Stratus.  Now the most evolved and diverse format lineup of long wheelbase design available.  All good stuff.

INTERBIKE 2009

Randy Schlitter stands with his new Xstream. It's real in aluminum with a Hoagie seat.

 

RANS X-STREAM

X-STREAM has been a “mid-racer” concept bike. As a possible lower drag platform, yet very street worthy the X-STREAM aims to provide the aero advantages of a high racer and the favorable aspects of a long wheel base in one bike.

The X-Stream Al has been approved for production. Tune in for details next week, and get ready to place your order for Fall delivery as a 2009 model.

RANS STRATUS XP

STRATUS XP Ti

 <<<  The well received Stratus XP Ti.  It weights 22.5#, featuring a new aluminum road fork, ZIII seat with carbon pan, 650C wheels, and carbon crank. It delivers the Ti smooth ride in the very confident Stratus XP geometry with excellent feel and control. 

Note:  We have 1 XL size Ti XP frameset in stock in a custom color, black, at no extra charge to build into an Angletech/Rans Stratus XP SHO or HO27 spec bike.  Contact us now!

 

STRATUS XP

Perfect front end geometry providing nice on center feel when going fast, and magnetic transitions when cornering that are just right. No "flip/flop." The 3 Way adjustable handlebar system provides telescopic as well as angle rotational adjustment for an ergonomic match not possible before. Finally, the fabric fairing option adds aero assist while having a practical application of storage with quick release mount to take it with you. Factory spec or several Angletech packages.

RANS V3 Ti and Al

V3 Ti

  <<<  The V3 Ti  as in titanium. It weights 21.5#, featuring an aluminum road fork, M5 shell seat with 650C wheels, and carbon crank. Made in Hays, Kansas, the etched graphics with a clear coat top off the bike with an elegant, low maintenance finish. With refined front end geometry, B37 handlebar format, and shorter wheelbase over the V2 format, Randy has declared this is the recumbent benchmark for speed. It has very nice neutral front end feel, and the level crank position delivers direct power and climbing ability through the featherweight chassis.  The crank position also yields a legs and shoulders out of the wind aerodynamic profile. And then, finally, when you pick it up, it delivers a smile.

A full compliment of seat and bar combinations are possible, and our ANGLETECH SPEC versions provide ultimate value and performance for your dollar.

S&S Couplers are now available on the titanium models.

AGIO

Bacchetta's Rans Tailwind inspired long wheelbase Agio. Aluminum frame with open architecture under the seat for a smooth ride, disc brakes, and level crank position for climbing leverage. The cockpit position is "open" style with lots of vertical adjustment. Handling is very linear.

 

                                                       BALLANDARE

Translated: "beautiful ride", the Ballandare is a Rans Response inspired low crank position long wheelbase bike with a central flex point to absorb shock.  B Pivot stem moves the handlebars out of the way of easy entry, and the Bacchetta familiar "tweener" handlebar.

 

 

SLIPSTREAM. A sturdy touring and recreational bike.  The Slipstream features a higher crank height than other LWB designs for better climbing leverage. The full mesh seat, just recently redesigned with a higher back and lumbar curve, also has a backrest that adjusts independent of the base plane. Linkage style underseat steering with multi adjustable joy stick like controls make this USS reachable for all riders.  Disc brakes.
