The world renowned features of our El Conquistador are now available in a 4130 Steel, S&S coupled version for easy traveling. The advent of S&S’s Bicycle Torque couplings allows us to do what we do best…design and build our ultimate off-road fully suspended tandems and lets S&S elegantly tackle the task of separation, packing, and reassembly. Their couplers are beautifully finished, brushed stainless steel lugs which we silver-solder to our 4130 Chrome Molebdenum steel chassis at separation points.

White Brothers T 100 fork,Gustav M brakes, Rohloff rear hub, super strong Sun Mammoth rims with White Industries 20mm front hub.
Bottom Line:
This is the best thing my wife and I bought ever. The bike handles well and you can go anywhere together, no limits. (can't float and fly so)I'm totally impressed with the Rohloff hub. I would recommend this hub for every MTB tandem out there. Don't try to save some bucks up front. This is the best component money can buy. Easy shifting even while not moving. No problems with sloppy shifting derailleurs due to the length of the cables. Just go out there and ride. If you are interested talk to Alex@mtbtandems he is a great resource.
