Haluzak
Triumf Recumbent Tricycles
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.
If you are looking for a high quality, lightweight USS recumbent -
Linear
Recumbents has their new 3.0 LWB available now and an all new 20x20
SWB in development.
The Haluzak Triumf delta trike
The Haluzak Triumph trike is no
longer being made. If you are looking for a recumbent delta trike for
under $2600 that isn’t too heavy you might look at the
Greenspeed Anura
or the Sun EZ-3
AX.
Bill Haluzak developed the Haluzak Triumf in response to inquiries about
a trike for physically challenged riders. His design Triumph resulted in
this US made delta trike. Weighing in at 46 lb it was the lightest delta
trike in the $1500 price range. Quite stable and simple to operate, the
Triumf’s 22” seat height makes it pretty easy to get on to and off of
and high enough to see and bee seen in traffic. The big and comfy seat
pad is the same as used on the Sun delta trikes. The Sun trikes are
heavier (52 to 65lb), less expensive and Taiwanese built. The seat
recline is adjustable on the Sun trikes but not on the Triumf. The
Triumf 24-speed drive train is easy to get used to and works well making
hill climbing bigger pretty easy on the Triumf; a bit easier than on the
heavier Sun trikes. Physically challenged riders may find big hills
tough on any trike. The Haluzak’s rear disk brake is plenty powerful in
all weather but only brakes the right rear wheel and will pull the bike
to the right a bit when applied hard. The front caliper has a parking
brake button, a great feature on a trike. The handlebar adjusts up and
down but not forward and back. The Haluzak comes with a nice, easily
detachable rear basket for groceries or what have you, much nicer than
the basket available for the Sun trikes. These are all bulky trikes and
none fold well. They can be transported on the roof of a car, another
reason to consider the lightweight of the Haluzak.
