Catrike 5.5.9 Released at Interbike
Sep 11th, 2014, 7:37am
 
We are proud to announce at InterBike the Catrike 5.5.9, a premium Grand Touring Catrike capable of high performance and spirited long-distance rides with extreme comfort.
 
It fits a very desirable and high demand spot in our family of products for riders looking for impressive handling characteristics on long stretches of beautiful roads or to carve through the next set of corners rapidly approaching you. It also provides the practicality for everyday use, thanks to our exclusive folding mechanism incorporating the seat, frame, chain managing kickstand and rollers. It will fit in your car, apartment or you can stroll it to catch the next train. Because of its long wheel base and large rear wheel, it provides a very smooth, stable and self-centering ride. Its narrow overall width and the significant Catrike technology alloy frame deliver a lightweight, nimble and efficient.
 
Finally, the 5.5.9 is completely developed with comfort, ergonomics and safety in mind thanks to its high seating position, open cell padded seats, low bottom bracket, standard mirror mount, clip less pedals and fully adjustable padded hand rests. It is equipped with our unmatched Catrike group including our custom FSA external bearing crankset and headsets, SRAM 10 speed drivetrain, Avid disc brakes and TT500 bar end shifters. Each one is made per order with our premium materials from scratch in our facilities in Orlando, FL in the USA and distributed through our selected special group of Catrike dealers.

We got to look at the folding Trail in Wisconsin. Pretty nice. Hoping to test ride this new one in Chicago.
