MetaBikes 20"-26" wheelset
11.2009
The most popular and classical recumbent designs are the ones with 20" front wheel and 26" rear wheel. This combination of different sizes makes these wheelsets hard to find, and in some cases very expensive. For this reason we decided to offer our high quality custom built 20"-26" wheels as aftermarket product. It's compatible with any rim or disk brake. And its all black look gives a very classy touch on any bicycle.
MetaBikes wheelset has a so solid and reliable construction that we offer a five years warranty for any production defect.

Bentrideronline review
10.2009
Customers must have unbiased information about any product in order to make good purhase decisions. This is the reason we sent one of our top of the range recumbents to Bryan Ball. His knowledge of recumbents is well founded, since is based in hands-on experience. As Managing Editor of Bentrideronline (BROL) he has ridden and tested more recumbent models than any other mortal. Also BROL is the best international source of recumbent information.
These are some of his comments on the MetaPhysic recumbent:
When they offered to send me a bike I was expecting some rough edges and a sort of “work in progress”. I was wrong. This new company delivered me a light, fast, well refined machine that really blew my socks off.
The focus of this Spanish recumbent is speed.
Even thought it may not be as versatile as some of the other highracer offerings, it definitely does achieve its goals. The MetaPhysic is a very fast recumbent for sure. On our usual test loop it was the second fastest highracer ever.
The MetaPhysic is an outstanding climber. The frame is one of the stiffest I’ve ever been on and when combined with the light weight, it becomes a pretty potent hill conquering weapon.
This also makes the MetaPhysic a great bike for sprints. The aerodynamics are pretty clean with the narrow handlebars and nothing rolls quite like a dual 700 highracer so flat land speed is also quite impressive.
