Rans produced the Vivo GL63 bike in 1998 and can be classified as a Recumbent bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $2,599.99.
Rans Recumbent Vivo GL63 can be found in a few colors, among these colors Pearl white .
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.25" Schwalbe tires and DT stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Bontrager Mack, 36-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with Magura Hydraulic HS24 brakes, Magura Hydrostop levers braking system and Front: Sachs Quarz, Rear: Sachs 3 x 7 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. Rans V-Bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Vivo GL63 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Rans Flip It.
For the smoothest biking experience Ritchey Logic, 38/50/61 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Sachs PC-41 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Rans, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Grip Shift ESP 9.0SL gear shift levers.
