Carbon recumbent bike : road bike (28/20) - Carbon Low Racer

The weight of a complete Carbon Low Racer is around 8,5 REAL kilogrammes.
The M5 Low Racer is no longer just the fastest bike in the world, it's also the lightest productionbike too. This is made possible by applying the most innovative techniques on the field of synthetic materials. For example: the special carbonmade partitions inside the frame.
To set the bike on the right lenght for the legs, the telescopic bracketpiece is glued in the main frame. The exchangeable rear drop-outs are made of aluminum. The carbon monoblade front fork only weighs 350 grammes. A special carbon front piece + handle bar is applied with a weight of just 150 grammes!

Company description M5 Ligfietsen and Handbikes

Makes Many More Marvellous Miles

M5 Recumbents is established in 1983 and is therefore one of the oldest recumbent companies in the world.

M5 Recumbents owns several world records, which is unique in Europe. Among our eight world records is the prestigious world hour record and the 100 km record. The records are achieved with a standard M5 Carbon and/or M5 Cr-Mo Low Racers recumbents, so no specials! This is a great advantage for our customers, which are able to use the same types of M5 Recumbents as the ones on which the records are estabished.

M5 Recumbents is the only Dutch brand of recumbents which ever got the title "Bike of the Year" in the Netherlands.

The one and only which ever took the first place in the monsterrace "Den Store Styrke Proven", 540 km non-stop from Tronheim to Oslo (Norway).

The only recumbent brand in Europe which offers full carbon and titanium recumbents.

M5 Recumbents is the only one in the world that publishes figures about efficiency and energy input of each recumbent model.

M5 Recumbents offers by far the most divers recumbent and specials assortment, varying from solo folding recumbents via handbikes and carbon and titanium bikes to a dividable recumbent tandem!

M5 Recumbents is the authentic designer of the most applied recumbent seat (M5, Rainbow, Lightning). And whether we like it or not, it's also the most copied/ close related recumbent seat in the world (Optima, Bacchetta, Challenge, Azub, Velokraft, Volae, Carbent).

M5 Recumbents manufactures more than thirty different carbon products. This is rather unique in the recumbent scene. Beside this we have built up a range of around a hundred CNC specials, including EBS, UTA, side pull brake, etc.etc.
