Rans Recumbent Tailwind can be found in a few colors, among these colors Black, dark blue, green and red .
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.50" Kenda tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Weinmann, 36-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with Dia-Compe Bulldog brakes, Tektro RBP-301 levers braking system and Shimano Alivio hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. Rans C-Bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Tailwind to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of SR Kamakiri.
