    Duration Product Used:
    1 Year
    Strengths:
    Comfort
    fun to ride
    The rush down hills
    Great for touring
    Great conversation piece
    Weaknesses:
    Not being able to get out of the saddle on hills. But they can climb, you just have to spin, spin, spin....

    I own two other regular not recumbent bikes.
    Bike Setup:
    Added
    Chris king headset
    Magura brakes
    XT parts accross the board.
    Bottom Line:A blast to ride. I got a great deal on mine, and basically changed all of the stock (suntour) parts. My bike (98 model) came with some low end parts which I think has changed for 99 now that Vision has some pull with the bike industry. Since mine is the short wheel base, I highly recommend a high end headset, like Chris King. The head set on SWB models take a beating.Otherwise, I just finished touring the pacific coast on mine, and I wouldn't have done it on any other bike. Great for touring, you don't even feel the miles.5 stars, minus one for the stock crappy parts.

    Duration Product Used:
    1 Year
    Strengths:
    Very nice design and well though out
    Weaknesses:
    not enough attention to detail, seat mesh started to wear out after 6 months
    Bottom Line:Great entry level recumbent. I don't regret getting this bike at all, although I hope they come through with the warranty on the seat.
