Designed as a schools racing trike to be durable,reliable and easy for students to ride fast. Based on principles of simplicity and efficiency for schools pedal prix racing with minimal frontal area for best aerodynamic profile. Built from 4130 chromolly to give long term durability and the ability for schools to modify in future years with standard welding techniques. The instantly adjustable rider length allows a wide range of riders to share one trike and optimises rider efficiency and performance as well as speeding up pit changes. Slide out front axles take seconds to swap wheels and allow use in fairings/bodyshells with closed sides and better aerodynamic efficiency. Adjustable Ackermann geometry allows the trike to be set for optimal cornering.
