Carbon recumbent bike : road bike (28/28-26) - Carbon High Racer

Light as a feather and super stiff: de M5 Carbon High Racer, 100 % practical and current world hourrecordholder as well...
After half a year of preparation the new M5 Carbon High Racer has been presented on the annual event Cycle Vision. It's the lightest and stiffest production bike on earth! Stiffer than any comparable carbon or aluminium bike.

Good designs don't show up effortless...

Surely not when it's concerning a technical and complicated design like the latest from M5: the "full monocoque" Carbon High Racer. This high tech machine is the result of a unique combination of knowledge and experience which is not to be found at any other recumbent manufacturer anywhere in the world. 23 years of design and building experience has been culminated in this product. Add the personal racing and record experience of M5 founder Bram Moens and a new norm is born.

The M5 "Carbon High Racer" vouches for:

Comfort and ergonomics

Light running large racing wheels, low friction propulsion

Minimal seat height (48 cm / 19 inch) in combination with maximal overview in everyday traffic.

Stiffest frame combined with lowest weight, by using "Finite Element Method" (FEM). Again this is unique in the world of recumbents.

Preservation of comfort because of the large wheel diameter and long wheel base (138 cm / 54 inch).

Shortest possible stem lengths as the result of well considered geometry. We don't use 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 inch) long stems, but short stems of just 17 to 23 cm (7 to 9 inch) length, thus making folding stems redundant. Short stem length means also: less flex and less weight.

Seat height: 48 cm with two 28" wheels, 46 cm with 26" front wheel/28"rear wheel
Bracket height: 74 cm / 26 inch
Seat angle: from 18 to 23 degrees, 3 types of carbon seat supports available
Wheel base: 134 cm
Weight: from 7,8 kg
Frame, front fork, stem: Carbon U.D. frame/Carbon U.D front fork, light weight aluminium handle bar and stem.
Stem angle: available in 4 different angles: 120/127/134/145 degrees
Handle bar: ultra light Alu 7075-T6, 45 grammes.
Wheels: front wheel 26" (ETRTO 571) or 28" (ETRTO 622), rear wheel 28" (ETRTO 622)
Minimal inner leg length when using a 26 inch front wheel: 84 cm / 33 inch
Minimal inner leg length when using a 28 inch front wheel: 89 cm / 35 inch

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.
