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.
