Handgrip Styles Testimonial from Carlos Moleda, 4 time Hawaii IronMan Triathlon World Champion, Handcycle Division, (current world record holder 10:30:00): "This bike is the most comfortable bike I've personally ever ridden. The radical, luge-style seating is not for the faint of heart but is fast, stable and truly aerodynamic. I can ride about 2 mph faster against the wind on this bike than on previous semi-recumbent style bikes. Overall, this bike scores high points because it will allow those who can't ride a kneeling bike to go faster and be more competitive in a racing environment." Testimonial from Matt Updike, member of 2008 USA Paralympic Team: "Top End has come up with a great new design. The new frame construction allows you to sit lower and thus it's more aerodynamic. It's also super stiff so there's little wasted energy with the frame flexing. Combine that with some other new features like the new improved handles, cranks and footrests, it's not only fast, but it's also one slick looking ride." Retail: $6250.00

Extractions: Many manufacturers have designed and released hand-powered recumbent trikes, or handcycles. Handcycles are a regular sight at HPV meets and are beginning to be seen on the streets. These usually follow a delta design with front wheels driven by standard derailleur gearing powered by hand cranks. Brake levers are usually mounted on the hand holds, which are usually set with no offset rather than the 180° of pedal cranks. The entire crank assembly and the front wheel turn together, allowing the rider to steer and crank simultaneously. Lean steer handcycles are another type of handcycle. In this type of handcycle the rider leans into the turn to steer. There is a longer learning curve with lean steer handcycles, and they are significantly less stable at high speed. The lean steer system feels similar to mono skiing, using your whole body to steer the handcycle. Lean steer handcycles can work well for lower-level injuries, although some athletes with high-level disability use them.
