   That guy is riding the tires off that bike! I agree it doesn’t sound right, but this is a great example and plug for the company.This bike looks very refined, and I’d love to have one.

   I’ve a Maxarya Ray-1 – waiting for all-terrain tires to show up so I can get on the trails around my shack – don’t think I’ll be hittin’ them as aggressively as the featured riders, but some time out in Nature will be a treat (from the paved highways). Cheers, d’P

   I have been riding over a year now on my recumbent MTB. I cannot believe how comfortable I am getting on it. I am learning it can actually do a fairly good job on the trails. I can keep up with pretty good riders except in the real technical or steep climbs. My ride is a homebuilt, but would rather have the real deal. Come on Azub… Hook Me Up!

   For those that sneer at recumbent for Off-road, consider this. There are many who enjoy bicycling, but eventually injuries from the traditional position will take some off the bike. Enter the Recumbent. Granted it will not do some things as well as the traditional, but it does one thing very well.  It provides a comfortable position. No neck or back strain, no hand pressure, no butt soares. So, back off on the slamming something that presents real options for some.

   Nice Video of the AZub in action. I had been off my strandard MTB for 5 years due to neck and back problems. Needed to do something so last winter I built my own MTB Recument out of my Diamand Back DBR V8. Was inspired to do so after seeing the Azub. Really not the best way to go about it, but I enjoyed the challenge. Would much rather have an Azub than what I created.

   I could not resolve issues with Pogo of rear shock related to the new chain position, but Azub as dealt with that well, so I am rigid on rear, but supension on front. Been riding it for a year now on pretty challenging trails of Arkansas. Would rather have underseat steering like the Azub. Indeed, would rather have an Azub than my Frankenbike.

    they are so fast that they are forbidden in the tour de france. on a normal bike you youse your weight to move the pedals, on recumbent you push.
