Carbon Aero 2.0: Stronger, faster and only from Bacchetta. Completely revamped from top to bottom and backed with extreme rider and machine load testing. The CA 2.0 gives you a more rugged frame, increased rider weight limit, additional tire clearance and a stunning new paint job. All this and we even managed to lower the price by almost a grand. Why? Because our customers demand only the best!

A word about the Bacchetta line of performance recumbents- Bellwether. Merriam-Webster’s definition is as follows: One that takes the lead or initiative. When we introduced our Strada and Aero models in 2001, we changed the perception of recumbents. When we introduced the aluminum Corsa in 2005, we shredded the misconception that high performance equals high cost. We weren’t the first to introduce the dual big wheel format, we were the company who made it work! And while our designs have spawned an entire market of Bacchetta wanna-be’s, none of them match the track record of Bacchetta performance recumbents through real world riding. We go to the races. We have the most renowned recumbent racing team on the planet in Team Bacchetta. While others companies spend a lot of time talking about how fast their bikes are, we’re out there proving it. If you want real world performance and are ready to walk the walk, you start at the top. You start with Bacchetta, the bellwether of performance recumbents!

From: Jonathan Krieger, Grand Rapids, MI

Good Stuff: Fast, Comfortable, Looks Great
Bad Stuff: Drive train a bit noisy
How I Ride: Long day rides, non-competitive

My old ride was a Rans V-Rex. Nice bike but a bit heavy for my aging legs. Was hoping for a machine that would increase my efficiency and expand my radius of travel. The CA 2.0 has done that and more. Last year I was content with 40-50 mile rides. Now 65 or more miles is the norm. Rode 102 miles the other day and was really surprised. In spite of the passqage of 5 years since my last century this was clearly the easiest long ride I've ever done. Comfort was actually better than my old V-Rex. City travel is better than I expected and not intimidating. What a great touring machine this has turned out to be! The drive train noise I noted was only in comparison to my previous bike which is very quiet in that regard. I should mention I bought this bike direct and Mike did a great job setting this bike up! (I had been on a Corsa before so this eased the process a bit) Seems crazy buying a bike this expensive without the benefit of a test ride. But if you do your homework Bacchetta does a great job with this program. More importantly, when I needed service with one item, Mike was there and promptly took care of things--and then some. Darn I love companies that value service. Don't underestimate the value of this sadly vanishing commodity. So just in case you're wondering...........Buy Baccetta!

From: David Super, Collingswood/NJ

Good Stuff: The fact that it's 20 lbs for a bent
Bad Stuff: none that I can think of
How I Ride: average 130mi weekly in season 18+mph

Started with a '06 Corsa and bought my CA 2.0 in '09. What a great machine. I thought the Corsa was fast and comfortable, which it was, but so is the CA 2.0. I have, however made a few changes. It comes with an 11/32 cassette and found this to be overkill. I switched to a 12/27 which does fine for me even in the hills. I also changed the middle chain ring from a 39 to a 42. And the last change was Spinergy Carbon wheels. My overall opinion of the bike is that it is an awesome ride. Light weight at about 20 lbs. 6+/- lbs from the Corsa. I find the bike to be more aero and much faster from a start and very responsive. The bike is very comfortable to ride for long periods of time. There are no numb hands or sore necks. There is no fatigue at all from the waist up. When I am finished riding, I feel almost as fresh as when I started. I recommend this bike to anyone looking for a better ride. Get off that diamond frame and move up to something better and faster.

From: Rick Gibbs, Madera CA

Good Stuff: Great bike for the money, fast, goes up well, goes downhill like a rocket, incredibly comfortable, loads of fun, great looking
Bad Stuff: Absolutely nothing
How I Ride: Long to short, flat to hilly, slow to fast

As a 35 year rider who developed back problems this bike was a life saver. No more back pain. It took me less than 2 weeks to become completely comfortable on this bike. It makes me want to keep riding and riding. It is very easy to master. The miles go by with much less effort than on a traditional bike. The shifting is as smooth as glass. It is at least 2 mph faster on the flats than my Dura Ace full carbon traditional bike. I think that this bike is quite a bargain for what it is. The people at Bacchetta are very helpful if you should have any questions. Fabulous work guys!

From: Dr. Alan Bragman, Atlanta GA

Good Stuff: rides like a dream, stiff frame, light
Bad Stuff: cost
How I Ride: fast road riding

I have been riding recumbents for about 8 years. this is my 4th Bacchetta and they just keep getting better. This bike is stiff, light and it handles and shifts beautifully. This makes it easier to stay with the fast young riders on group training rides, and at 57 years old I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the great ride Alan Bragman
