In 2000 Burley introduced their first recumbent bike, the Limbo. “A Company with Burley’s fine reputation is building a recumbent bicycle” I thought. It is comfortable and very stable but not a good hill-climber, I’d had hoped for more from Burley (I like all of their more recent recumbents are better.)  The Limbo is an original design and like all their bikes it is built in their Oregon factory. All Burley recumbents are OSS and the Limbo converts between CLWB and SWB without additional parts. The frame is a Chromoly mono-tube with a rear air shock. Its rear suspension “bobs” when you pedal hard on a hill climb. Combined with it’s ~38 LB, weight this makes it a poor hill climber. Burley thinks the CLWB setup will be its primary appeal for casual riders and beginners due to it’s its lower bottom bracket and excellent stability. It is one of the few 'bents that can be ridden no hands. Set up as a SWB it is more nimble, with a slightly higher bottom bracket, which might appeal to more aggressive riders except that it is a pretty low performance, comfort bike. It wasn’t as nice as I had expected from a company with Burleys reputation for quality and innovation. If you will be riding significant hills here is a tip for tuning a Limbo: Pump more air in the shock; you will climb better but feel bumps more too.
