Azub.eu - home » Recumbent - an astonishing break through in biking

The feelings you have got when you're on a bike are something you cannot describe - you have to experience it. A unity with the engine, a great feeling of independence and a wide choice of possibilities where to go - these are just some of the reasons why bikes has become an essential part of a modern life style.

We focus on producing bikes that give you all possible joy of biking without any health problems afterwards, completely comfortable and though with an unbeatable effort.

After finishing their biking, normal cyclists drop down a bike with sore bums and backs and stumble back home, while users of the recumbents look at their behaviour with fun, smiling in comfortable seats of their engines.

Discover the beauty and convenience of recumbents and enjoy your trips as much as possible.

recumbent comfort    

Many cyclists are considering buying a recumbent as they have been tired from bending down and taking up uncomfortable positions on normal bikes. The usual complaints on normal bikes are sore back, wrist or neck and, of course, saddle sore. Long-term experience and scientific research confirm that an unnatural position and a narrow seat can cause pins and needles in fingers but it can also cause impotence.

The construction of Azub recumbents is made to adjust to cyclists, not the opposite.

Every recumbent user can tell you many reasons why using a recumbent provides you with a great experience. Most of them even agree upon a fact that a convenience the recumbent provides you with is given by following factors:

    * There is an ergonometric seat on a recumbent with a full leaning of your back and your weight is spread equaly compared to a standard small seat of a normal bike; there is no reason to sit on a bike as comfortable as on a railing.
    * The position you're taking up doesn't cause any pressure on your wrest, your arms are naturally alongside your body and hold the handle bars.
    * Your head isn't declined unnaturally so you won't have a sore neck that really does bother many cyclist on normal bikes.
    * The position on a recumbent enables you a panoramatic view to the surroundings.

aerodynamics of recumbent    

The extent of the aerodynamic resistance is largely based on the size of the facing. By an usual bike there is possible to achieve a smaller air resistance by a bigger bending that makes suffer your spine and your crotch. By the same time, the stress on your arms and hands is getting bigger and there is no avoidance for your neck muscles neither as they have to care for a bigger backward bend of your head.

The facing and thereby also the aerodynamic resistance are much smaller on a recumbent, all given by the horizontal position of the cyclist. The principle is, the recumbent user is cleaving the air with his legs and the air can run around continuously. The already great aerodynamics can be made even better with a windshield = a transparent plastic aerodynamic shield. Not only does it improve running around of the air, it makes your journeys more comfortable as well.

On the pictures, you can see cyclists in their positions, sitting on diffrent types of bikes. You can compare their facing with the position on a recumbent.

azub recumbent ideal position system    

We are really proud of the adjustability of our recumbents. A key to the most effective and comfortable biking is an optimal set-up for your body when you are pedalling. Every cyclist is different and we strongly believe that the bike is to adapt to the cyclist, not the opposite.

Every road needs its own way. Biking round a land needs a bit steeper position of the seat to be able to react faster, when you're on a road, you can definitely more appreciate a "lying position" that gives your a lower air resistance and a higher speed.

IPS - Ideal Position System
If you feel inspired by recumbents just as we are you will definitely feel you need to share them with your relatives, friends and people you know and show it off to all admirers of your engine. But what if they are 20 cm smaller or taller than you are? That's why we have developed a system how to adjust the frame, seat and other parameters to the user. We call it IPS, i.e. Ideal Position System.

The most important thing is the position of the seat that can be changed without any tools, just with two clamping devices. This adjustment enables a change in lenght up to 13 cm and hight up to 6 cm. Other parameters that can be changed are following:

    * seat slope (17°)
    * front boom (200 mm)
    * you can use under seat steering or above seat steering
    * the handle-bars can be set up to get the best position
    * the radius of turning can be set up (when using the under seat steering)



Using all these possibilities, it's not only you who can enjoy your recumbent but even your child or friend, a basketball player, as well. To have an adjustable seat provides you with many advantages even if you don't share your bike with anyone. Beginners usually start with a steeper position and after gaining experience they allow themselves to lay down more and more. Everything can be changed without any tools just with the clamping devices anywhere on your journey.
 

Quality

The recumbents are made in Czech republic. We do cooperate with the best proffesionals, whose technologies are state-of-the-art. Using a local production, we are able to check on the quality of every single piece. We do not depend on any production from Asia so that we can implement every new improvement on the spot.

If you buy an AZUB recumbent, you can be sure you're always getting the best we have produced and tested yet.
