Cruzbike S40 Gen 6 Recumbent Bike Tech Specs and Fit

Frame

Lightweight, road-smoothing hydroformed aluminum frame. The S40 recumbent road bike's wheelbase, trail, and head-tube angle deliver smooth handling, natural cornering and a responsive ride whether you are descending at top speed or navigating twisting back roads.

    Front Triangle

    The famously stiff patented drive system that vaults Cruzbike racers to records and wins, powers the S40 recumbent road bike. It shares the stiff, efficient drive geometry of traditional road bikes and transforms performance cycling technology into an incredibly fun, liberating cycling experience. It also makes Cruzbikes the fastest-climbing recumbent bike in the world.

    This patented drive system not only frees us from the long, inefficient chains and special parts fixed-boom recumbent bikes require, it links the upper and lower body across the drive train as it rotates around the axis of the head tube. This linkage allows Cruzbike recumbent bike riders to increase power when climbing or sprinting by engaging the upper body in much the same way professional cyclists do when they climb or sprint on traditional road bikes.

      Seat-to-Frame-to-Drive Connection

      The Cruzbike S40's carbon fiber seat fits the curve of the frame so that no watt is wasted. As you press your back into the frame, you engage your whole body through the handlebar and cranks. Energy surges through the drive system and powers the bike forward, leaping up hills or accelerating into a sprint.

        Fork

        The Cruzbike S40 fork is designed to accommodate a range of setups from fast endurance road to plush Roubaix-style adventure with beefier tires. Plus clearance at the crown allows for fenders and wide tires. The product team chose the tough, versatile Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x32c tire for the S40 Complete for its versatility and performance so you can ride whatever road is calling your name, day after day.

          Racks and Bosses

          The Cruzbike S40 is the machine for fast commuting, multi-day rides, brevets and tours. Possibilities abound when your recumbent bike is fast, light, comfortable and ready to be outfitted for the demands of your cycling ambitions. The frame boasts threaded mount points for racks, panniers, lights, fenders and hydration.

            S40 Gen 6 Complete Components

            Gen 6 sees the return of SRAM. The SRAM components we have chosen deliver excellent performance and are our favorite S40 build yet. We also upgraded to full compressionless cable housing for both the front and rear brakes. Some components - the Cane Creek Viscoset, KMC chain, our  proven reliable hubs - are proven to last and return once again to grace this beautiful frame.

                      Climb mountains, carve corners and smash records on the fastest recumbent bicycle ever. The Vendetta V20c is our flagship model.

                      Years of racing, research and development have brought us to the perfect carbon fiber-aluminum concept. The V20c is our lightest, stiffest, smoothest, fastest Vendetta ever, joining a carbon fiber front end with an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame.

                      The proof that this is indeed the fastest recumbent bike is in the records set and held by Cruzbike Vendetta racers. Make no mistake, this bike will make you faster. In fact, we guarantee it.

                      This V20c Frameset is open box and may have minor cosmetic imperfections.

                      Cruzbike V20c Specs and Fit

                      Front Triangle

                      Our patented front triangle design is formed by the fork, chainstay, boom and slider. It is a compact tetrahedron that links the upper and lower body across the drivetrain as it rotates around the axis of the head tube. This linkage allows you to boost power when climbing or sprinting by engaging the upper body. It also means you'll run a standard length chain and have access to the cutting edge in performance component technology.

                      The new V20c boom utilizes a T47 85mm wide BB shell and an aero profile tube for the greatest blend of aerodynamics and stiffness possible. This shell capitalizes on stiffness where it matters most - right where your wattage is being generated.

                      This larger diameter shell is matched to the new chainstay, which is light, aero in profile and stiff laterally. It uses a broad new clamp design at the boom to maximize stiffness at the BB and chainstay interface.

                      The chainstay leads down to our new carbon fiber fork, which is light without being flimsy and utilizes an oversize tapered steerer with wider bearings for increased strength at the crown.

                      A 12mm through axle connects the wheel, fork, and stay together as a solid unit. The result is a strong and unparalleled power connection from the crank to the cassette with nearly zero deflection. The flat mount disc brakes are tucked in behind the blades for maximum aero. No other recumbent can claim a transmission with this little power loss, where deflections in booms, frames, and stays are all too common.

                      Tying the fork and boom together is our new slider, which uses a new internal connection as opposed to a boom clamp. The precisely designed pivot clamp is designed to spread the clamping forces on the slider tube and fork steerer without damage, slipping, or deflection under the types of torsional forces a Cruzbike front end can be subjected to. The fork portion of the pivot clamp replaces the headset top cap to reduce the number of pieces needed to set bearing tension.

                      All of these ingredients come together for the best power transfer possible with zero flex - while still feeling silky smooth. The ideal blend.

                      Add some clean internal cable routing in the fork for the front brake and derailleur, and in the boom/slider for the front derailleur and you have the cleanest, smoothest, most gorgeous Cruzbike front end to date.

                        Frame

                        The V20c recumbent road bike’s lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame smooths the road, slicing through the air so you can focus on putting every watt of power into the record-smashing top speeds this bike is made to achieve.

                        The V20c headtube is now tapered with wider bearings to accommodate the new fork, and the geometry just slightly tweaked from its V20 predecessor for even smoother handling.

                        The main connection of the rear lower stays at the hydroformed tube now weld into a CNC machined yoke. The result is an increased torsional stiffness - an important thing on the twisty downhills especially for heavier riders - and has cleaned up the welds at that joint significantly while also being lighter.

                        The rear dropouts have been completely redesigned to accommodate a 12mm through axle which threads into a replaceable lightweight cap and accommodates standard flat mount disc brakes. They are CNC machined specifically to create the perfect blend of light weight, stiffness, and precision.

                          Seat-to-Frame-to-Drive Connection

                          The V20c's carbon fiber seat fits the curve of the frame so that no watt is wasted. As you press your back into the frame, you engage your whole body through the handlebar and cranks. Energy surges through the drive system and powers the bike forward, leaping up hills or accelerating into a sprint.

                          Compatibility Notes

                          BB shell: English Thread T47 
                          Front derailleur: Braze-on mount
                          Brakes: Flat Mount Disc Only

                          Front dropout: 142 mm.
                          Our front through axle is longer than a standard through axle for a 142 mm dropout because it has to accommodate the width of the fork and front chainstay.

                          Cruzbike S40 2023 Recumbent Bike Tech Specs and Fit

                          Frame

                          Lightweight, road-smoothing hydroformed aluminum frame. The S40 recumbent road bike's wheelbase, trail, and head-tube angle deliver smooth handling, natural cornering and a responsive ride whether you are descending at top speed or navigating twisting back roads.

                            Front Triangle

                            The famously stiff patented drive system that vaults Cruzbike racers to records and wins, powers the S40 recumbent road bike. It shares the stiff, efficient drive geometry of traditional road bikes and transforms performance cycling technology into an incredibly fun, liberating cycling experience. It also makes Cruzbikes the fastest-climbing recumbent bike in the world.

                            This patented drive system not only frees us from the long, inefficient chains and special parts fixed-boom recumbent bikes require, it links the upper and lower body across the drive train as it rotates around the axis of the head tube. This linkage allows Cruzbike recumbent bike riders to increase power when climbing or sprinting by engaging the upper body in much the same way professional cyclists do when they climb or sprint on traditional road bikes.

                              Seat-to-Frame-to-Drive Connection

                              The Cruzbike S40's carbon fiber seat fits the curve of the frame so that no watt is wasted. As you press your back into the frame, you engage your whole body through the handlebar and cranks. Energy surges through the drive system and powers the bike forward, leaping up hills or accelerating into a sprint.

                                Fork

                                The Cruzbike S40 fork is designed to accommodate a range of setups from fast endurance road to plush Roubaix-style adventure with beefier tires. Plus clearance at the crown for fenders and wide tires is massively improved on the 2021 S40. The product team chose the tough, versatile Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x32c tire for the S40 Complete 2021 for its versatility and performance so you can ride whatever road is calling your name, day after day.

                                  Racks and Bosses

                                  The Cruzbike S40 is the machine for fast commuting, multi-day rides, brevets and tours. Possibilities abound when your recumbent bike is fast, light, comfortable and ready to be outfitted for the demands of your cycling ambitions. The frame boasts threaded mount points for racks, panniers, lights, fenders and hydration.

                                    S40 Complete Components

                                    The 2023 S40 Complete is outfitted with a Microshift XLE 1x11 system we chose for performance and smooth shifting. The 42 tooth chainring with an 11x42 cassette hits the sweet spot for power on the flats and gearing for the climbs.

                                    Thru-Axles The latest in high-end cycling axles attach the wheels more securely, are stiffer and flex less than their quick release predecessors, resulting in better power transfer and more resilience. For the new thru-axle on the S40 we chose a sleek, leverless style that even houses its own internal removal tool for the axle itself and brake rotors.

                                    Cruzbike Q45 Gen 5 Tech Specs and Fit

                                    Frame

                                    Unique swing arm design allows the Q45's robust aluminum frame to run a super smooth suspension system and pack down for travel.

                                      Front Triangle

                                      Cruzbike's patented race-proven dynamic boom drivetrain is the engine of the Q45 recumbent touring bike. The same system that powers our performance bikes to records and wins powers the Q45 so you'll be able to take on whatever mountain range is on your bucket list, while hauling all your gear.

                                        Suspension System

                                        The Q45 boasts a full-size (165 mm) external coil shock that rides super smoothly, accommodating a heavily-loaded bike and blowing open the terrain upon which the Q45 thrives. Mixed surfaces on that trip you're dreaming of doing? No problem.

                                          Adjustable Seat

                                          The 2022 Q45 features a new resin seat that has a great compliant feel on the road, making this Q45 the most comfortable yet and it is half a pound lighter than its aluminum predecessor. It is ergonomically designed for comfort for riders of all shapes and sizes. The cushion is a one-piece dream that cradles its rider from shoulders to derriere. The seat back angle is also adjustable so you can get your backrest dialed in just the way you like it.

                                            Racks and Bosses

                                            The Q45 is designed for hauling gear and mounting accessories. It boasts 8 threaded mount points on each side and one in the middle under the down tube plus a dedicated fender mount. Load up panniers, mount lights, install fenders - anything you need for your adventure - this bike can handle it.

                                              Dual 650b Wheels and Thru-Axles

                                              We are the first recumbent bicycle company to offer dual 650b wheels and thru-axles. Thru-axles improve stiffness in the drivetrain, handling, cornering, and power transfer. We made these massive upgrades to the Q45’s spec to deliver even better performance and an even smoother ride. 650b wheels open up options to customize your Q45 with a huge variety of performance wheels and tires.This bike ships with 1.65 inch tires we chose for performance (even in wet weather), durability and value. And you'll still have plenty of space for fenders.

                                                Custom-designed Handlebar

                                                The awesome custom-designed Q45 handlebar features road styling but is sized for mountain shifters and levers. This opens a whole world of component options and also creates more space in the cockpit for better rider fit.

                                                  Q45 Recumbent Touring Bike Components

                                                  For the new Q45 recumbent touring bike we upgraded to thru-axles, flat mount brakes and more. We chose 1x11 MTB components that balance performance, durability and value. This setup is designed to thrive even with a fully loaded Q45.
