TerraTrike tried something new today. They did a live streaming reveal of their new Zoomer SL trike, which they claimed to be the lightest trike on the market at 28-29 pounds (without pedals).
The trike has:
- an all aluminum frame
- horizontal handlebars
- the usual adjustable TerraTrike seat
- a carbon FSA SLK Light crankset
- SRAM Force front derailleur
- Velocity wheels with Aeroheat rims
- Schwalbe Durano tires
- SRAM XO shifters and rear derailleur
- KMC X9 chain
- 26" rear wheel and 20" fronts
- 30" wide
- 250 lb weight limit
When asked how it compared to a Catrike Red, the answer was that the the Zoomer SL is a "different animal". At that point, it was mentioned that a Catrike Red as spec'd would likely be $5000, which then led to the Zoomer SL price reveal of $3499.
The trike is available for order now.
