A new generation of recumbent trikes from Bacchetta. The Carbontrike CT2.0 was designed by Swedish trike innovators Lars Viebke and Artur Adson in a joint venture with Stockholm-based CarbonTrikes of Sweden. “We have been perfecting the design of our original CarbonTrike for a decade, and we were unable to keep up with the increasing demand for our custom-built trikes,” explains Viebke. “Our joint venture with Bacchetta allows us to take the design of the trike to the next level and bring them to the world in quantity. Bacchetta’s manufacturing, supply chain management, marketing and sales expertise is a perfect fit for us.”
Full carbon frame with integrated storage. Adjustable seat back length and a 28 degree seat recline for flat land performance and optimal climbing. Ackerman steering, self centering with a 19′ turning radius. The lightest recumbent trike on the market, a true Real World Performance machine born from a collaboration between Bacchetta and Carbon Trikes.
Shown with optional rear fender and headrest.
Lars and Artur ride year round, we find the CT2.0 to be a cycle capable of covering a variety of riding situations. Not just a Sunday morning art piece to bring out to delicately show your friends.
It has linkage steering, no pedal steer, and can be ridden no hands while cranking and no hunting.
Not an extreme riding position, so mere mortals can enjoy the experience too. The crank position and seat angle provide climbing support not found on more laid down designs.
The seat has a secure stash compartment that has a variety of uses including reservoir storage with hole in right rear stay for hose exit.
Not loud! Low amplification of road noise.
An evolved seat pad. Ventisit in the center with grippy butt bolsters to keep you planted.
Lots of tire clearance out back so you can run a set of narrow rubber all the way up to wide without issue.
Nice carbon rear fender wide enough for a touring tire.
BCT neck rest. We will also be offering the TerraCycle
Finer Recliner neck rest.
Familiar Bacchetta teardrop frame shape out front with adjustable slider.
37-48″ X Seam range.
27# with a 2×11 drivetrain at $5995.
Rolling chassis based custom Angletech Spec variations including an E-drive version.
If these pictures and our little review have you curious, we would be happy to have you stop in for a test ride.
With the arrival of the Carbontrike CT2.0, the number of carbon fiber Bacchetta’s in their lineup is now 4. Bacchetta’s quiver of carbon recumbents is growing.
We like their latest addition.
CT-2e with Shimano STEPS E system coming in Spring 2020
