Bacchetta Corsa 700C wheelsize model

The best ever Audax / long day ride bike? It is at a special price because we love it and want to see more of them on the roads!

The Corsa certainly is the best ever Audax / long day ride bike if looking for value and speed and climbing ability and all round performance. Since the Corsa switched from a frame of cromoly steel to aluminium in 2005, it has become one of the most sought after performance recumbents on the market. Not only does the Corsa model come with a rigorously tested Aluminum frame, it also comes standard with the evolutionary most loved recumbent seat in the "EuroMesh" saddle and a component package that will make your fellow recumbent riders salivate - if they can keep up...

Bacchetta's are consistently voted the easiest to ride (ie very easy) of any recumbent by test riders here at Flying Furniture Cycles.

Kilo for kilo, pound for pound, Bacchetta's clearly make the stiffest, most efficient and best hill climbing racing recumbents around. Every gram of rider energy gets to the rear wheel and propels you forward - energy is not lost in the frame.

The combination of the most efficent frameset, the World's most comfortable recumbent bike seat - the Bacchetta Euromesh seat - and the easiest handling of any recumbent bike makes the Bacchetta bikes a great choice for weekend rides with friends or a tour or race across the country.

This ease of handling and dependability makes them ideal Audax bikes even before you look at their class leading hill climbing and outright performance. Throw in their lightweight package and aerodynamics and you have a fast fast winner...
