Volae Team

You want efficiency and speed? On a Team, the "Gods of Physics" deliver with a vengeance. An ultra-light Oval Concepts A900 fork and Volae Molded Carbon seat are combined with Velocity Uriel 650c wheels, TruVativ Rouleur 30/39/52t 170mm crank and SRAM X.0 components put the Team in a class by itself. Volae's lightweight 4130 CroMoly frame is stiff where you need it, and smooth-riding where you want it.

My Volae Team is only in its second day. But IMHO, Hostel Shoppe has done a magnificent job of designing and building this extremely competitive two-650c-wheel, state-of-the-art recumbent. AND WOW, IS IT FAST!

Plus I find it very light, responsive, comfortable and easy to ride. I am very impressed and frankly, surprised at how much I like it and how quickly I seem to be adapting to it from my ride of the last two years, a LWB, low bottom bracket, Ti Rush. The Rush is a magnificent recumbent ... but at circa-35 pounds, it is 10 pounds heavier and a bit longer than the Volae Team. Although I love the Rush's comfort and feel, it does not have the incredible lightness and quickness of the Volae Team. It's just possible I'll keep both. There are some laid back, touring type rides on which the Rush could prove a little less demanding of the rider's attention and possibly prove to be more comfortable over many hours. And the Rush is an unmatched sight-seeing platform.
