MetaPhysic RS FrameKit
We have created the perfect road machine: a fusion of recumbents and traditional cycling. Since it's compatible with the most standard bicycle components, you can choose from a huge offer of quality wheels sets, tyres, cranks and brakes. The production of recumbents with 700c wheels is almost nonexistent, and we know well why. We had to squeeze our brains to carefullly place every part in the right position to get the desired efficiency, functionality and ergonomics.
MetaPhysic is the culmination of this effort. Concived to obtain the maximum performance on real road riding conditions. Seat is at the proper height to be seen by car drivers and also to share the ride with traditional road bicycles. The compact racing geometry, low gravity center and balanced distribution of rider’s weight result in great stability and control at any speed.
For its fabrication we have selected only the most technical and advanced materials to get a bicycle with the required stiffness for a good power transfer and also ligthweight for better climbing.
MetaPhysic is available as RS framekit version. RS stands as an abreviation of Road Sport, which is its heart and soul. Fits riders from 5'2" to 6'5" (1.58m to 1.95m) and includes brake adapters to use either 700C, 650C or 26" wheel sets.
