New 26 inch (ETRTO 559) carbon double front fork with V-brake pivots developed |
December 5th, 2007 |  |
) To enable an even lighter end result of our recumbents with 26 inch (ETRTO 559) front wheel, we have been developing for the last months a new type of carbon front fork. The fork is suitable for all Titanium and Cr-Mo models with 26 inch front fork and the M5 Carbon High Racer. It's an M5 design double front fork, connected to a carbon 1 1/8 threadless head tube. We have chosen for the aeroshape comparable to the earlier developed 28 inch (ETRTO 622) front fork for the High Racer. The V-brake pivots flow into the surface of the fork smoothly, thus avoiding the use of excess material. The weight of this highly stable 100% carbon MTB fork is just 545 grammes, being one of the lightest of it's type. The used type is carbon is 12 D in matted finish. Estimated availability mid-January 2008. Price will be equal to the 20 and 28 inch version. | ||

M5 Titanium Carbon Low Racer beats records | ||
 Last week Greg Gross participated in a 4-man recumbent only team in the Texas Time Trials, an event that draws riders from all over the country. It is a tough course: 20 mile loops done 25 times for a distance of 500 miles total. The course has 1000 feet of climbing for each loop. Greg rode the M5 TiCa Low Racer that he purchased from Garrie Hill. On his first lap, he beated the standing lap time record by 1m15s, beating the previous record of 51:30. He was also told he had an unofficial record of most consecutive loops completed in under an hour, with 5 of his 6 laps. Lap times were 50:15, 52, 57, 55, 57, and 1:03.Below the a link to the internet site of The Texas Time Trials. | ||

Paris-Brest-Paris with M5 Recumbents! |
August 14th, 2007 | |
 During the upcoming Paris-Brest-Paris race from August 20 to 24 2007 a large number of people will participate on an M5 recumbent. During this non-stop monster trip quite a lot of riders will use our latest model, the M5 Carbon High Racer.Participants from our region (Zeeland, the south west of the Netherlands) are Mr. J. Bouman from Goes (age 65 plus) with an M5 City Cruiser/Tail Bag, Perry Stoel from Grijpskerke with an M5 Carbon High Racer/Tail Fairing and Rob Stricker from Zoutelande with an M5 CrMo Shock Proof 559 and Tijmen Hoeven, at the moment living in Zaandam, with an M5 Carbon High Racer/Tail Bag combination. Also worth mentioning is the Australian participant Andrew Heard, who already was preparing for this PBP for three years. During his holiday in England M5 Titanium Shock Proof 451 was stolen ... To compensate his loss a little, we decided to offer him an identical replacement to enable him to participate after all. Other participants are also supported with things like fast wheels and/or Tailfairing to reach a better placement. | ||
