Simple and Powerful

The V20 Drive System

Our patented drive system is what sets us apart from other recumbent bikes. 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 in much the same way professional cyclists do when they climb or sprint on standard road bikes. It also means you'll run a standard length chain and have access to the cutting edge in performance component technology.

    Cruzbike V20 Tech Specs & Fit

    Frame

    Lightweight, road-smoothing hydroformed aluminum frame.

      Front Triangle

      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. Our patented front triangle design is formed by the fork, chainstay, boom and slider.

        Seat-to-Frame-to-Drive Connection

        The V20'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.

          The V20 Complete component package has been carefully chosen by Jim and Robert. This V20 is so fast, you'll leave everyone in the dust.
