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 2021 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.

Headset	Cane Creek ViscoSet® Headset (This premium headset leverages viscous damping to make learning easier and improve handling)
Shifter	Microshift XLE Right 11-Speed Lever for Cable Actuated Brakes
Crankset	Driveline Crankset 165mm with 42T 110mm Narrow/Wide Chainring
Bottom Bracket	Driveline 68mm English - External Bearing
Cassette	Microshift G-Series 11-42T 11-Speed Cassette
Chain	KMC X11-1 EPT Anti-Rust 1/2"x11/128" EPT
Brakes	160mm MCX-2 Mechanical Disc Brakes
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.

Compatibility Notes

BB shell: English Thread 68mm
Front derailleur: Braze-on mount
Brakes: Flat mount
Brake adapters: 160/200 size front and rear for 160mm rotors (this will be brand dependent).
Hub spacing: the front fork is compatible with standard 142 12mm thru axle. The rear dropout is compatible with standard 100 mm hubs.

Hydraulic disc brakes: The S40 2023 Frameset can be outfitted with hydraulic disc brakes using readily available long brake line kits. The exact proper length will be different for each bike/owner due to handlebar fit variations. Work with your local bike shop on this.

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.
