In 2002 Burley Recumbents added the LWB Taiko and Canto models.
They are very similar to their SWB’s. In fact they are convertible to SWB
configuration, a small plus. They use the same seats and handlebars as
their SWB’s. In the LWB configuration they are very stable and absorb
bumps as well as any non-suspended (without suspension) bike I have ridden. They only come in
one size but fit a wide range of rider sizes well. Customers test riding
these bikes often are impressed with their handling, even if they end up
buying something else. They are great touring bikes and pretty quick too.
The Canto uses Grip Shift, Sora and Alivio components while the Taiko has
Shimano 105, Deore and LX.
I usually ride burleys with the seat adjusted as vertical as it will go. I
like it recline, it is still fairly reclined in that position, I'll bet
that is the way it's photographed on their web page. If you want to sit
bolt upright you may not like their seat position. Climbing is very good,
and it's high speed -down hill handling is confidence inspiring. It's
Handling is EASY to feel at home on, at most any speed. The Burley seats
are very adjustable (base position and angle, back angle, pedal distance)
The RANS and Bacchetta seats continue to be the most popular with our
customers for overall comfort but the Burley seat combined with the
frame's passive suspension (especially on their LWB designs) works well
softening the smaller bumps.
