Get your own custom Catrike 700 Racing Recumbent Trike We hope you have something to wipe up the drool, because this trike will likely make you slobber. It's sleek and fast and ready for the road. The Catrike 700 features a large 700 ZIPP wheel in the rear and normally comes with 30-speed gearing. Not this time! Nope, we tripled the gears with the addition of a 9-speed wide-range Pinion drive in the front. You'll notice a few other extras that complete this package. Pinion C1.9XR 9-Speed Wide-Ratio Upgrade - For Catrike (568% Gear Range) - The Pinion C1.9XR 9-Speed XR (Extra wide range) is engineered with 9 distinct gears, making it perfect for situations where riders need quick access to both very low and very high gears, such as on steep climbs or during fast descents. Unlike standard cassettes that feature closely spaced gears, the C1.9XR has larger jumps between gears, facilitating greater adaptability to various terrains. The gears are situated within the hub, which eliminates the necessity for external derailleurs, resulting in a clean and low-maintenance drivetrain. The gearbox provides 9 unique gear options, striking a good balance between a wide range and manageable shifting. When comparing it to other Pinion models: -C1.12: This model offers a higher gear count (12-speed) and features smaller gear steps, which enable better cadence control and smoother transitions for gradual terrain changes. -C1.6: A lighter weight option that has a smaller gear range.
