Finally have our first RANS Trizard shop demo ready and tested. My wife and I both had opportunity to test ride the prototypes at InterBike OutDoor Demo in Boulder City, Nev last September. I was immediately impressed with the speed, high speed stability, resistance to tip, and comfort (Hoagie seat always impresses). The production model has taken a while to get out to dealers, but the wait was well worth it. It impresses me more every time I take it out.

Low slung delta style trike or long wheelbase lowracer trike? This baby is fast!

This rear shot gives a glimpse of the rear drive as well as the seat recline braces that allow a good range of adjustment. The single rear drive wheel works well in this laid-back configuration. What I would like to see is more gear inches at the top end as both a customer and I have been able to spin it out as it is. It seems effortless to accelerate this trike and climbing is no problem. Stopping is quick with the rear wheel Tektro mechanical disc brakes.

I’ve had opportunities to ride other delta style trikes, but this is the first one that has ever impressed me and to take another look at this configuration vs. the tadpole style (two wheels upfront) that I have preferred till now. The low seat height and long wheelbase makes the Trizard very stable keeping the inside wheel down in corners.
The Trizard spec weight is 39.8 lbs which is in the range of many tadpole and other lightweight delta trikes. Retail price is $2,600.00.
Come by and give this trike a test ride!
