Since the Corsa received a face lift in 2005, it has become one of the most sought after performance recumbents on the market. Not only does the Corsa model come with a rigorously tested Aluminum frame, it also comes standard with the evolutionary EuroMesh saddle and a component package that will make your fellow recumbent riders salivate!

Check out the complete component package for the Corsa, ride one for yourself and you'll very quickly see why all of the other Corsa riders on the road have just two words for their recumbent cycling brothers: See ya!

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: Andrew B., Colunbia, SC

Good Stuff: Everything about it.
Bad Stuff: Waiting to own one!
How I Ride: Fast group rides, commuting to work

I don't own one yet, and at this moment I cannot afford it. But I believe in the Law of Attraction and somehow a Bacchetta Corsa will come to me. I have made room in my garage and am even ready to part with my Titus road bike and my incomplete Sun EZ Speedster so that the Corsa can take a place of honor in my garage--when I'm not riding it, that is. Thanks Bacchetta! Andrew B. andrew15090@yahoo.com

From: Bob Crawford, New Orleans, LA

Good Stuff: Comfortable!, Fast, Nimble, ease of handling
Bad Stuff: Seat-feel frame bar under foam
How I Ride: 3-4 days/wk, 15-25 miles/ride

I pull one, sometimes even two bike trailers with it when I take my sons. It rides great. The mesh seat is comfortable to a point. Mesh is stretched over seat frame bar which (for me) sometimes causes a pressure point/discomfort on seat bones, sitting on that bar (when biking more than 10 to 15 miles. You feel the bar thru the foam. I'm going to order the molded carbon seat (upgrade) to replace my mesh/frame seat.

From: Mike Dixon, Bournemouth U.K.

Good Stuff: Light Fast & well built
Bad Stuff: Not much !! but I can't get on with Handle Bars might change over to Hamster with tiller. I would also like to change the length of the cranks by reducing them to 160mm
How I Ride: weekends rides on my recumbents (velokraft NoCom) (Mike Burrows Ratrace) and (catrike explorer)r

I have owned the Corsa for about 7 months now and have enjoyed riding it very much ,it's so nice to be high up in comparison to my other recumbents in traffic and the light weight makes climbing a dream. The only things I like the change would be the superman Handlebars as I really think hamster bars are faster i.e. by putting you in a more aerodynamic body position. The only other thing I would change is the length of the cranks .By reducing the length to 160 mm you really save your knees!!! great bike 5 stars

From: Amy, St Petersburg, FL

Good Stuff: It's Comfort
Bad Stuff: Ya Get No Respect from Roadies
How I Ride: Group Rides 20-22 mph and Distance rides

Having back issues, a triangle frame was not an option. All I can say now is THANK GOD! Not only is this bike comfortable, it's fast, durable and oh so aero. I would NEVER ride any thing else, unless it was Baccetta's Carbon Areo.

From: Martin Atton, Taunton England

Good Stuff: Fast, comfortable, stable
Bad Stuff: Heel strike
How I Ride: 20 - 70 mile rides 17mph

Great machine. Very fast, climbs better than my other recumbents. Well made. Clever design. Would prefer 559 wheels foe ease of replacement. Can ride all day with no pain. Elegant engineering solutions in the design.

From: Chris, lubbock/tx

Good Stuff: great for long rides, good performance
Bad Stuff: not great for city,
How I Ride: city.... performance but fun

I have had mine about 1yr. 1200 mi. great for long rides in country like "hotter than hell", but I ride in city and wonder if bella ATT might be better. Either way I love my corsa. great bike with great performance.
