The Piratella is pure elegance using masterfully crafted Reynolds 7005 aluminum frame and the Alpha Q/Burley BDC2 carbon fork. Coupled with Campangolo Record 10-speed components, an FSA SLK MegaExo crankset and Rolf Prima Vigor tandem wheels, this tandem is the epitome of high-performance - and weighing in at under 30 pounds, heads will turn as you and your partner cross the finish line ahead of the pack every time.
The dramatic weight reduction and increased rigidity of aluminum combine for all-out tandem performance. Dramatically quicker acceleration and faster, easier climbing are noticeable benefits. Combine this highly efficient chassis with the world's best tandem fork and the result is superior tracking, faster cornering and confidence-inspiring braking.
Utilizing 18 years of experience with tandem needs and working with Alpha Q, we have co-developed the Alpha Q/Burley BDC2 all-carbon fiber tandem fork exclusively for Burley tandems. This fork is designed to utilize all the advantages of carbon fiber: lightweight, vibration dampening, stiffness and strength. With beefed-up Carbon Rooting Technology and a super-strong 4mm thick steerer tube, the BDC2 fork is the lightest, strongest and stiffest tandem-specific fork on the market.
