Haluzak
Horizon Recumbent Bicycles
On 1/4/07 Bill Haluzak told me he is calling it quits from the bicycle
manufacturing business. He said the main issue was getting Shimano parts
when he needs them. He will still be making and selling parts and
accessories for his existing bikes but will no longer be making or
selling new Haluzak Recumbents. We will try to keep some Haluzak
Recumbent parts and accessories in stock as long as they are available.

The Haluzak Horizon, a classic USS recumbent
The Haluzak Horizon, their original and most popular recumbent

For years, Bill Haluzak has been building the Haluzak Horizon, Leprechaun
and Hybrid race Short Wheel Base, Under Seat Steering recumbents. In 2002
and 2003 he also built his Triumph delta trike. Bill designed and built
the Horizon, Leprechaun and Hybrid race, some of the finest SWB, USS
recumbent bikes in the world. All these bikes are similarly designed and
change little from year to year. In fact, it is difficult to tell them
apart in pictures. About 99% of Haluzak's recumbents are USS, SWB bikes
with bar-ends and bar-con shifters. Their rider position, handling and
comfort are similar. You can order a Haluzak with OSS handlebars; these
are about 1% of their sales. The frame finish detail, rider position and
low speed handling are excellent. High quality Shimano components and
Bar-Con shifters combined with short cable runs make gear shifting on the
Haluzak pretty easy. The newer Haluzak chain idler (double grove,
over/under design made form a skateboard wheel) is nearly silent and
trouble free. The USS handlebar and bar-end combination gives a hand-arm
position as comfortable as any USS 'bent. Their low speed maneuverability
is excellent, high-speed stability is not so good. Haluzak’s climb well,
too but are not fast on the flats.
The Haluzak Horizon and Leprechaun bikes and Triumph trike can take a
while to order. Bill Haluzak builds them himself and sometimes has
trouble keeping up with demand.
