Design features
|
The design of the Strida folding bike is just different. A Strida bike is unlike all other folding bikes and based on the strongest geometrical form in nature: the triangle.
The frame is constructed exclusively from 7000 series powder-coated aluminum, it's rustproof, lightweight, rugged, and protected by a 2 year warranty.
|
|
|
It's not just the frame that is strong as iron. The drive train belt is made of Kevlar. Kevlar is used for the production of e.g. helmets and bullet-proof vests. The durability of our greaseless drive train belt was tested in extreme circumstances and is rated up to 50,000 miles.
New on the Strida 5.0 are the disc brakes. The brakes are safe, durable, and provide superior braking in wet weather.
The disc brakes have a high-tech look and require almost no maintenance.
|
|
|
In addition to a look of quality and design the ergonomic features haven't been neglected. On the contrary, the construction of the bike makes the biker sit up straight and an upright posture gives him/her a perfect overall picture of any situation.
The distances between pedals, knees and hips have been adjusted exactly to create optimal comfort. Owing to this you always cycle with an upright posture and this gives you maximum control of your bike.
|
|
|
The seat is equipped with built-in suspension for remarkable comfort. Upright posture provides greater visibility. seat adjusts up and down stem to accommodate riders 5'4" to 6'4" (1.62m to 1.93m), depending upon your leg length.
The gel saddle is very comfortable; it is adjustable in height and can also be adjusted horizontally. The handlebars are collapsible, but can not be adjusted up and down.
|
|
|
The standard 16" aluminum wheels are rustproof and practically carefree.
|
|
|
Strida is designed to need only a single speed. the gearing is 56 gear inches, roughly equivalent to 4th gear on a ten speed bike.
Though Strida bikes are equipped with one single speed, you will never feel the need for more gearing. Acceleration is fast and your cruising speed is an average of 10-12 mph.
|
|
|
The Strida 5.0 bike is a revolution in the world of design folding bikes. The frame and the patented folding technology make it one of the best selling folding bikes at present. Through the ingenuity of the folding system anyone can fold and unfold the pedals, the handlebars and the frame within 10 seconds.
