How do recumbent tandems compare to upright tandems?
Recumbent tandems are awesomely comfortable and great performers as well. Superior aerodynamics plus good uphill performance means you won’t be sacrificing speed to get all that comfort. Recumbent tandems are making enormous inroads into the tandem world. We have been at tandem events where as many as 25% of the tandems were recumbents and they only hit the market a few years ago. Good recumbent tandems and good upright tandems are about the same price, and after many years on recumbent tandems we can’t think of any reason that we would want an upright tandem.
