Bacchetta Giro 26 - 2012 model

One of our customer's favourite bikes! The Giro 26 is the perfect solution for recumbent riders that love the dual 26" recumbent format for commuting and hardcore touring, but want room for fatter tyres and mudguards not found on its Bacchetta roadie brethren. Also fits 700C wheels !

The Giro 26 was introduced in 2005 and became an instant recumbent bicycle classic. This bent is all about taking on life day to day; a great ride and an even greater value.

The Giro 26 2011 model is RED with V-brakes as standard - easily upgraded to disk brakes - hubs are disk ready.

You can fit fast high pressure 23mm tyres or even up to super wide 50mm plus tyres on this bike for the ultimate in versatility.

(And even upgrade and fit fast 700C/622mm wheels with disk brakes or lighter dual pivot caliper brakes as an upgrade option here at Flying Furniture cycles).

Pound for pound, kilo for kilo Bacchetta's clearly make the stiffest, most efficient and best hill climbing racing recumbents around. every once of 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 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.
