For over 30 years, we have been riding and working with
cyclists to find bikes that fit their individual needs. In those many
years, we've also had the opportunity to work with countless recumbent
riders, enthusiasts and manufacturers to learn what works, what riders
want, where marketing hype ends and the road begins. Now, we've taken
these countless experiences and applied them to Volae recumbents to
assemble what we hope you find to be the best recumbent for you.
Quality and Performance First. While Volae
recumbents are designed to be performance machines, "Quality and
Performance" can't be measured by raw speed alone. How do you measure the
performance of a seat bracket, for example? It must allow for a large
adjustment range, and make those adjustments easy. It must allow you to
remove and install the seat quickly and easily for transport. It must
hold strong under pressure. It must resist twisting, flexing or breakage.
Just like our seat brackets, each portion of every Volae recumbent has
been thought-through completely with very specific criteria defined.
All of Volae's frames are hand made, with Reynolds 4130 Chromoly tubing,
in limited quantities at Waterford Precision Cycles in Waterford, Wisconsin.
Waterford brings quality to Volae that is unavailable elsewhere in the recumbent community.
By taking our designs to the best steel bicycle fabricators in the world,
you benefit with unmatched weld quality, superior alignment and the best
ride possible.
Along with superior quality, USA production also gives
Volae the flexibility and opportunity to make changes as they're needed.
Without huge lead times and production commitments in Taiwan or China, we
can stay on top of our designs and production, making updates and
improvements all the time - not just with the next model year. This
ensures that the Volae you buy is the best it can be.
