Optima Recumbents
Optima is well known for their suspended (with suspension) recumbent bike and trike
designs. Up till 2008 they have been made in Holland but they have built
their own factory in Taiwan. We expect to have their Oriental bikes here
some time this spring, stay tuned!
As you would expect from a European recumbent bike maker, Optima offers
bents with all the common Euro features: SWB reclined composite seats,
rear suspension or dual suspension and Under-Seat-Steering (USS). Sound
similar to the recumbents from HP Velotechnik and Oracle Omega? Sure
does. But then don’t the Easy Racers Tour Easy; RANS Stratus; Bacchetta
Bellaire; Cycle Genius Falcon; and Sun EZ-Sport look a bit similar to
each other too?
