Featured Recumbent Bike--Rans X-Stream

The 2009 winning four-person recumbent bike team in the Race Across America endurance bike event rode the Rans X-Stream--which says a lot about this performance-oriented bicycle.

Amazingly, the Rans team averaged nearly 21 miles per hour in the nearly 3000 miles of the Race Across America. The second four-person team to finish, riding upright bicycles, arrived about 7 hours after the Rans recumbent team.

Official media coverage of Team RANS included this commentary from Adrienne Johnson in the Race Across America blog (emphasis added):
"RANS is and has been leading the 4 man race for two days. Their nearest competitor is over 100 miles back. The very best part about Team RANS is that they're so darned comfortable on the bikes. Recumbents allow the riders to ride with nothing but sore legs. No neck pain, no hand pain, no butt pain. A pretty good thing for a 3,000 mile bike race."
