The Aero is uncompromising in its pursuit for speed. Every aspect of the Aero has been designed to increase aerodynamics, and make it the best performing trike on the market.
Marshall Randall breaks World Ultra Cycling Association (WUCA) and Guinness World Records on a recumbent trike. All records have to be verified by the WUCA, but at this point it looks like he snuck under his 100k record by seconds and then reset his 100, mile, 200k and 6hour records by sizable margins.
Riders will find a host of aero-enhancing features such as: airfoil shaped outriggers, drag-reducing handles, 20° low seat angle, and carbon disc wheel covers.You will notice how quickly the Aero accelerates with the first stroke of the pedals.
The frame is crafted from 7005 aluminum alloy, which keeps the trike lightweight without compromising strength.
In laboratory testing at GreenSpeed on many different types and sizes of tires, it was discovered that not only did smaller diameter tires roll easier than large ones of the same construction and pressure, but wider tires rolled easier than narrow ones. This lead to the design and manufacture of the GreenSpeed Scorcher tires, which have been the number one choice of the top Australian racing teams for the last 10 years.
For the Aero we have taken another look at the design of the Scorchers and managed to further improve the rolling resistance by an extra 15%! When you stop pedaling the Aero and coast, you will be surprised at how easily it rolls.
The Aero has a 56/42/28 crankset and a 9/28 ten speed cassette. This gives a top gear of 124 inches, VS 91 inches for a standard 20” wheeled trike, or 118 inches for a standard trike with 26” rear wheel. The Schlumpf Mountain Drive is a popular alternative to the triple, and with the standard 60t ring and the 9/28 cassette, will give a range from 17 to 133 inches. So on the Aero you can be sure you will be faster than a trike with a 26” or 700c rear wheel. Plus the Aero will handle better due to less rear end flex.
Finally, outfitted with premium componentry and custom lightweight GreenSpeed Scorcher tires, riders pilot the trike in the comfort of a classic GreenSpeed seat. With breathable mesh and adjustable, compliant shock cord.
