You've been cycling long enough to know what a correctly engineered and well-constructed bicycle can do. Fanciful marketing or scare tactics in the sales literature of pretenders does not sway you. Nor will you be seduced by the latest materials craze. You simply want every gram of performance you can get.
Building the lightest, best-performing tandem available is more than simply shaving metal or choosing underweight components. Anybody can make lightweight bikes, but constructing tandems that hold numerous national and international titles is a rarity. The Robusta is a proven performer that has not only rocketed scores of athletes into first place, it also holds up to the rigors of innumerable training miles with ease.
Yes, the Robusta is lighter than ever before. Co-Motion just can't stop tweaking its performance, tuning the ride to direct more of your muscle power to those two little patches where the rubber burns up the road. How did they do it? By designing the Robusta's new incredibly light zonally-butted ACMUltra7 tubing and reworking the geometry around the very sexy new Alpha Q X-2 tandem fork. In fact, Co-Motion redesigned every millimeter of the Robusta, making it more performance-oriented than ever, while dropping its weight to a jaw dropping 27.7 pounds. Of course, it's the ride quality that really counts. Wind up this tandem's tachometer and let the driven soul that has made the Robusta a legendary performer show you what it can do.
