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!

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
