The OPTIMA DOLPHIN in both above seat or below seat steering versions - a trusted touring or commuting recumbent - and beautifully crafted - it uses two 20"/406mm wheels for convenience - just a more compact version of the famous LYNXX. OPTIMA Dolphin, like other Optimas also has a easily variable seat angle to adjust the bike to your comfort level. With a triple crankset and wide range gearing or a Rohloff hub gear, the DOLPHIN has plush dual suspension which copes easily with rough roads. Sidebag panniers can be fitted to keep your touring load centred between the wheels for excellent balance while loaded touring - panniers do not affect the suspension movement. A convenient mirror on the handlebars allows a good view of the road behind. 4 standard panniers can also be fitted to the DOLPHIN if you already own panniers - two on the rear rack (which is rated to 40 kg) and two under the seat on an additional rack.
