Rans produced the Tailwind bike in 2000 and can be classified as a Recumbent bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $995.00.

This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.35" Primo HP tires and Sha-Dar stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex AL-DA16, 36-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with SRAM 7.0 front/SRAM 7.0 rear brakes, SRAM 7.0 levers braking system and SRAM 7.0 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. RANS Alloy high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Tailwind to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of RANS Alloy.
