Hello all, just a quick note to let you know we will have our new Airlite carbon trikes at the OHPV HPV races in Portland, Oregon this month. www.air-lite.com Stop bye for a test ride. The OHPV is putting together a great event this year.
I hope the summer racing goes great for you and your new bike. The proof is in the pudding. If you get it out there and show it off and ride it FAST then it'll go!
I would surely test ride one.
I think the fastest bikes are layed back but also have a high BB to keep a good compressed power-angle. Offhand the race version looks like the angle might be too 'open.' But we'll let results and reviews inform us better!
The website is also very nice and 'tight.' (I did notice a couple typos with "there" instead of "their" twice in the "Manufacturing" section.) The two trike models are somewhat confusing. They look very similar and the one is called Airlite Trike while the other is Airlike Model. They're both trikes and both 'models.' It seems like Airlite Race Trike and Airlite Sport Trike might be clearer, as I think that's what the distinction seems to be, but I'm not sure.
Good luck! --Jeff Potter (out your backdoor press)
Thanks Jeff for the advice, and proof reading! One of our customers does the proof reading, I don't think he has seen the latest revision. There are two models the only difference is in Groupo one is Dura-Ace the other is 105 components. Both trikes are road bikes with an emphasis (spelling) on speed.

We have now added a third model to the line up! 105 components, under 26 pounds with aluminum rear subframe and fiberglass seat. The old 105 model has been upgraded to Ultegra components as well.

Kinda scarey seeing that front wheel so close to your crotch and left leg . .. . .
