Azub TRIcon GR
Gravel & Road
Do you enjoy discovering new spots of nature away from main routes? Do you often find yourself on potholed tarmac? Would you like to take your trike on a long gravel path leading to new horizons? Then the GR is the great choice for you. The letters GR stand for Gravel and Road, indicating that during its development, we thought of both tarmac roads and gravel paths meandering through the countryside. The three 26” wheels give the TRIcon higher seating, better passability through terrain and splendid view. The rear suspension provides the required comfort, while the absent front suspension makes for lighter weight and better conservation of power.
A balanced combination
To provide the GR with excellent riding properties, we have not only given it the wide Syntace rear hub with through axle design used for downhill bikes which provides the GR with excellent stiffness and makes it handle bends exceptionally well, but there are also wide hubs at the front. Thanks to them, the trike doesn’t suffer in bends approached even at high speed, and what is more, they further improve the riding properties of this unique machine the TRIcon GR undoubtedly is. Components you can choose for your TRIcon GR include such delicacies as the 1×12 SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain with a range of up to 500 %, or the 18-speed Pinion P1.18 gearbox that we offer as the only manufacturer of recumbents. This one achieves an extremely impressive 636 % gear range. Naturally, you can also have your bike fitted with the state-of-the-art SHIMANO Steps E6100 drive which offers a balanced ratio of power needed on steep hills, low noise and fantastic energy efficiency.
Far and further still
The pros and cons of 3×26″
The benefits of three 26“ wheels are perhaps known to most of you. A larger diameter means less resistance when rolling and thus higher speed on flat ground, the bigger wheels roll over obstacles easier and you are much more likely to buy good-quality tires and inner tubes for them. As a matter of fact, you sport all wheels with the same diameter, which means you don’t need to carry two spare tubes of different sizes and you’ll also do with one spare tire if needed. And curiously, some people find three wheels of the same size more appealing. Sometimes rather uncritically.
MAIN FEATURES
Smooth adjustment of the seat
Ever since we started back in 2000, we have always thought that a bike should adapt to the rider and not the other way round. That’s why we used an adjustable seat for our first bike, in which both the angle and the pedal distance were adjustable. With each further development stage, we introduced a more accurate adjustment, until 2013, when we reached a stage of adjusting without positions. This concept is based on a sliding sleeve, which we produce in a straight version for our tricycles and some bicycles, as well as in a curved version for recumbents.
F2F U – Fold to flat ultra
In addition to folding the front part, you can also rotate the rear fork which is designed to fit neatly just below the rear of the frame. This will turn the tricycle into an incredibly small package which you can easily fit into the boot of a small car or into our carry case should you wish to take the trike for example on a plane. And the whole manoeuvre will take you no more than 5 minutes without the need for any tools.
Folding mechanism
In 2015, we introduced a new folding mechanism we are really proud of. We wanted to create a folding tricycle that would be adequately stiff and whose folding mechanism would be smooth and easy to operate. The feedback from hundreds of AZUB riders has confirmed that we have definitely accomplished what we had planned.
Folding handlebars
It took us hours and hours of thinking and discussions before we thought up and then designed probably the most sophisticated folding handlebars in the world of recumbent tricycles. We would rather not mention the number of prototypes we have made…
