CARBONTRIKES Race

Discontinued trike model, replaced with CT2.0 – Second Generation CARBONTRIKE

CARBONTRIKES Race is the world's lightest trike built in 100 % carbon fiber.
We exploit the potential of carbon fiber in a way that has never previously been used on a trike and have therefore made CARBONTRIKES both extremely light and stiff. The frame construction of carbon fiber also reduces road vibrations, so it is more comfortable than commonly.

CARBONTRIKES has many innovative features - handy storage compartment in the frame, elliptical shape of the boom and hydraulic brakes as standard, to name a few unique features.
The Race model is a hand crafted, fast trike, ideal for training, commuting or touring, without sacrificing the sporty experience. The trike is designed so that it can be fitted to your needs whether it is for the sporty or practical way.

For the experienced who compete or use the trike for fast training or in the mountain and are looking for a super lightweight trike we recommend CARBONTRIKES Race SL it is a real pulse raiser. The one who are, looking for an aerodynamic trike made for breaking speed records on the road, we recommend to take a look at CARBONTRIKES Race Aero.
