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.

Headset	Cane Creek ViscoSet® Headset (This premium headset leverages viscous damping to make learning easier and improve handling)
Shifter	SRAM APEX 1x11 Road
Crankset	SRAM Apex 165 w/ 110 BCD Narrow Wide Ring (1X) 42T chainring
Bottom Bracket	SRAM GXP
Cassette	SRAM 11-42
Chain	KMC X11-1 EPT Anti-Rust 1/2"x11/128" EPT
Brakes	TRP Spyre Dual Piston
Wheels and Tires	32 spoke 3 cross black aluminum rims, aero profile, tubeless compatible, 25 mm wide rim, approx 28 mm depth non-machined sidewalls, Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x32c tires
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.

Options

S40 FRAMESET: The S40 Frameset includes the frame, front triangle, optional front derailleur holder stalk, carbon fiber seat and cushion, headrest and cushion, custom-designed handlebar and grip tape. Every Gen 6 S40 Frameset also ships with the Suspension Adjustable Headrest included. Work with your local bike mechanic to craft the perfect build. Instructions can downloaded from the S40 Owner's Resources on this page. The S40 Frameset ships worldwide.

S40 COMPLETE: The S40 Complete ships with components pre-installed and includes the Suspension Adjustable Headrest in the box. Plan for 2-3 hours for assembly if you are a novice. Experienced mechanics will be able to complete the assembly in about 30 minutes. Step-by-step assembly video is here. Note: the S40 Complete does not include the optional front derailleur holder stalk because it is configured as a 1x11 system. If you need the stalk, add it to your order notes or reach out to support@cruzbike.com. The S40 Complete ships worldwide.

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.
