To the left, the slow pulsingflash of a carefully controlled TIG welder. A few stepsaway, mill and lathe operators execute the precise cutsthat make our custom-drawn butted tubing into theintegral parts of a Co-Motion bicycle frame. Just beyond,skilled artisans carefully take turns preparing each framefor paint, or painting in multiple stages in our world-classdowndraft booth.

Craftsmanship—it’s a work ethic and a philosophythat’s often touted but seldom adhered to elsewhere.Producing the finest bicycles in the world isn’t aboutautomation. We believe craftsmanship defines the

CO-MOTION CRAFTSMANSHIPpersonal connection between our bicycles and our-selves. Our commitment to the hard work and to thedetails of making better bicycles is evident not only inour bicycles, but in the people who work here as well.A visit to Co-Motion Cycles illustrates our open andhonest style. We take pride in what we do because weknow we’re doing it right.

At Co-Motion Cycles, turning ideas into bicycles ismore than just giving someone an order. The bicycles wetake pride in reflect a logical progression of bicycles fromour past experience—from the bicycles we ride ourselvesto those we build for our customers. Like many otherframebuilders, we began by building a few custombicycles for our friends. As time went on, we developednew bicycle models based on what our customers wereordering. We tracked our fitting data, and paid attentionwhen customers asked to change an angle here or there,or sought out improved components and innovations.Without question, our customers are the greatestinfluence on the continuing evolution of the bicycles inthis catalog.

The Co-Motion Tandem difference We have longenjoyed a reputation for building tandems that simplyhandle better as we work relentlessly to improve tandemdesign using better materials and construction methodswhile integrating the latest components to help you getmore out of tandeming. Precision handling isn’t just morefun—it makes our tandems safer and easier to control.A sluggish-handling bike might lull you into a false senseof security, but when it comes to avoiding obstacles, orexecuting a perfect mountain descent, no tandem willrespond like a Co-Motion. Experienced cyclists find thatthey don’t have to relearn bike handling, while newcyclists find that riding a Co-Motion tandem is easierthan they ever imagined.

Can your Co-Motion tandem read your mind?Your Co-Motion always seems to know exactly whereyou want to go because our tandems never requireover-steering, with excellent tandem forks for everymodel. Our hand built Cro-Moly tandem fork providessuperb lateral rigidity and a smooth ride. TheCo-Motion/WoundUp carbon tandem fork is designedto fit Co-Motion road tandem geometry and makes agreat upgrade. Making the most of the incredibly light,superb-riding new Alpha Q X-2 tandem fork meansspecially designed geometry, incorporated into ourweightless new Macchiato, the zippy new PeriScopeHammerhead and our renowned and freshly redesignedRobusta and Supremo race tandems. Better handlingisn’t simply a formula. We bring into harmony

intelligent design, Co-Motion-exclusive materials,and thoughtfully selected components to achieve thesuperior handling and better fit that make the tandemsin this catalog unmistakably Co-Motion.

Relax. You’re in control. Better control means you canrelax and enjoy the ride. Confidence in your bicycle willmake you a better cyclist, whether you’re stoking orcaptaining. When you know that your tandem will doexactly what you ask, you’ll be able to relax your upperbody, let your spine flex and respond as you ride, andloosen your grip on the handlebars. Because you’llexpend less energy on control, you’ll have more toinvest in pedaling. It’s no wonder a Co-Motion feelseasier to ride.

PaintCo-Motion is known for exceptionally beautiful paintwork.Other bike manufacturers have been known to visit our facilityand marvel at the space we’ve dedicated to our two downdraftpaint booths, where our certified PPG paint technicianscomplete a multi-stage, catalyzed process on each frame for atough, long lasting finish. For a personal look, you can choosefrom our 45 paint colors on page 31 or select from infinitecustom finish options, many of them pictured on our website.

Better TubingThe tubing that your tandem is constructed fromplays a huge role in its behavior. We have engi-neered every Co-Motion tandem tube to deliver acomfortable ride while demonstrating incrediblelateral rigidity. Every tube, from the taperedchainstay to the double-butted downtube isthoughtfully profiled for optimal tandem applica-tion. Our continuous length top and lateral tubesare butted at both ends as well as in the centersection, an expensive and complex zone-by-zonebutting process.

Our Speedster, Mocha and Supremo tandemmodels are built with our improved tandem tubesetmade from our own exclusive zonally-buttedReynolds 631 tubing. This air-hardening tubing hasconsiderably higher tensile strength and fatiguelife, resulting in a lighter, stronger frame.

For our Co-Pilot Option S+S Coupler-equippedmodels, we have profiled each tube to bettersupport the installation of S+S Bicycle TorqueCouplings. No other company has gone to theextremes we have to design the bicycle aroundthe S+S coupling and improve travel-ability. All ofour tube designs are exclusive to Co-Motion andunavailable to other manufacturers.

Our Roadster, Robusta, Macchiato and Hammerheadaluminum tandems are made from newly redesignedzonally-butted ACMUltra 7005 tandem tubing. Wehave created better riding, lighter weight and moreprecisely constructed aluminum tandems thanyou’ve seen before by using continuous large-diameter top and lateral tubes, rather than bulgedor two-piece tubes. Our ACMUltra 7005 tandemtubeset’s positionally-specific tubes allow furtherremoval of unnecessary weight.

WheelsOur 145mm rear axle spacingis the standard of the tandemindustry, allowing plenty of room for9 and 10-speed wide-range cassettes,excellent chainline, and hub-mountedbrakes. Symmetrically constructedwheels assure a lifetime of solidperformance.

Contoured StaysFor improved tire andheel clearance, ourcustom seatstays andchainstays are gracefullycurved (above).

CO-MOTION TANDEM FEATURES

Finish WorkNothing compares with a Co-Motionin the finish quality department.Perfect metalwork, precise machining,and impeccable detailing areexpected on a Co-Motion bicycle,and we deliver. Ask any Co-Motionowner, or better yet, take a closelook at the finer details of one of ourbicycles for yourself.

Hub-MountedBrake OptionsDisc brakes have come a long way inrecent years, and we’ve found the AvidMechanical disc—standard on many ofour tandem models, and optional on mostmodels—to be an extremely reliable andoutstandingly powerful option as analternative to standard rim brakes. Manypeople prefer a disc brake because thebrake’s friction will not overheat rims inextreme conditions.

The Arai Drum Brake is the only brake werecommend as a supplemental dragbrake. An Arai drum brake can be fitted inaddition to the standard rim brakes, and isan excellent choice for tandem touring,heavier couples, or mountainous terrain.As a third brake, the Arai drum allowsexcellent braking using the rim brakes,and good heat dissipation and speedcontrol for long, difficult descents. TheArai drum brake is part of our touringpackage, or it can be ordered separately.

Beware of misleading information about butted tubing. Some tandem makersclaim to be the only ones using double-butted tubing. If you count thenumber of wall-thickness zones, our tandem tubes would be considered quint-butted. Interestingly, our zonally-butted tube profiles are asymmetrical, sincethe stoker and captain departments are quite different. We use the termzonally-butted because it clearly defines the intention of bicycle tube design,which is to reinforce the tubing at each intersection, while lightening the lessstressed zones in between, improving the ride of the bicycle.

Better ForksA key element to making Co-Motion tandems handle better is oursuperbly engineered forks. With several choices available for themany kinds of tandems we offer, everyframe is designed specifically for thefork it is paired with.

The excellent Co-Motion Cro-Moly forkthat guides many of our tandems isdesigned and built right here to suit thekind of handling and longevity webelieve is right. Our exclusive precision-machined steerer tube makes a superbfoundation for our custom drawntandem fork blades, shaped forexcellent road compliance with ideallateral rigidity. Our straight-bladed discfork features our own CNC-machineddisc dropout, designed to distributebraking loads over the length of thefork for improved rigidity and flawlessalignment. Co-Motion uses the industry-standard 1-1/8" steerer so nonstandard parts are never an issue.

The Co-Motion/WoundUp carbon fiber tandem fork was the firstcomposite fork made specifically for tandems. Our goal in this jointproject was prioritizing safety and strength, while achievingsignificant weight loss. The smooth, vibration-damping carbon ridemakes a great upgrade, this fork is compatible with most tandemframes equipped with 1-1/8" steerer tubes. It is made in threeversions: one for caliper brake mounts, one for linear-pull orcantilever brakes and a disc-brake version called the Duo.Whether you’re upgrading the tandem you already own, or yournew Co-Motion tandem, we’ve got the right fork for you.

This year, we’ve integrated Alpha Q’s new X-2 fork into the designof our Robusta and Supremo models, as well as the new PeriScopeHammerhead and Macchiato tandems. The incredible X-2 isexceptionally light, yet stronger than Alpha Q’s earlier tandemforks. Because its geometry is much different (short profile, caliperbakes only, fits tires no larger than 700x 28) the X-2 is not availableas an option on other models.

Stoker StemOur new lightweight standard aluminumadjustable stem allows for about 2.5cmof adjustability (above, top).

Our optional Max-Adjust stoker stem (above,bottom) provides more range of adjustmentthan any other type with a full 18cm of range.

We also offer a Max-Adjust captain’s stem,a great choice for a PeriScope tandem.All three stems are built with the emerging31.8 handlebar standard for improved rigidityand safety.

Fillet BrazingBeautifully executed craftsmanship.We have made a name for ourselvesas some of the industry’s finestcraftspeople with our glass-smoothfillet brazing. If you would like toadd the elegance of fine filletbrazing to your Co-Motion, we nowoffer this option on any of our Cro-Moly and air-hardening steel models.

We Make Fitting EasyWith more stem choices than any other tandem maker, we helpyou get positioned comfortable and efficiently. Anatomical bendhandlebars prevent fatigue by providing more places to place yourhands, while helping you reach the controls with ease.

Better PartsWe go to great lengths to select the mostappropriate parts for our tandems. We striveto use components on our models that are incommon use throughout the bicycle industry, andunderstood by any mechanic at your local bike shop,like 1-1/8" head tube diameter. Our componentselection will never leave you stranded.

For those parts that are truly unique to tandems,not only have we worked with our suppliers tointegrate the latest innovations in componentry likeexternal bottom bracket bearings, hollow crankspindles and 10-speed cogsets, we are alwaysexploring our own solutions to tandemcomponentry and frame design in house.

If you’re thumbing through our catalog,looking for the tandem that looks like theSpeedster, except that it’s got 26" wheels,you’ve come to the right page.

We’ve newly redesigned the Mocha with alower profile fork and trimmed clearances tomake it a better road bike with improvedfitting range for a wider array of riders. Therefitted Mocha will accept tires rangingfrom 1" to 1.75" wide, offering greatversatility for a wide range of uses. TheMocha is not a mountain bike, but it canventure off into the back country capablywhen called upon. Loaded down witheverything you need on a self-containedtour, the Mocha really shines. Its smallerdiameter 26" wheels are amazingly strong,and many people also prefer them for theirworldwide availability and even for thereduced gear ratios due to their size.

The Mocha’s design and geometry exhibitsthe handling theory that is Co-Motion’strademark. You’ve heard that our tandemshandle better, and the Mocha is no excep-tion. It responds to rider input naturally andwithout hesitation, giving you extraconfidence to push yourselves just a littleharder, and have a lot more fun!

Continuing our tradition of uncommonexcellence, we build the Mocha with ourexclusive Co-Motion designed zonally-butted tandem tubing. Special processingmakes this air-hardening steel tubingstronger after welding, for an amazingcombination of low weight and unmatchedreliability. The Mocha has everything youneed to take it touring this weekend and toyour club ride or tandem rally next. Add theCo-Pilot option and take it to the moon ifyou’d like. Wherever your Mocha takes you,we’ll be right there with you.

SPEEDSTER CO-P ILOT

When you ride a Speedster, you’ll experienceCo-Motion’s quantifiably better control thatother tandems simply lack. Our advanceddesign and unmatched construction may makeyou forget you’re on a tandem at all. TheSpeedster steers nimbly and quickly, andbetter still—the precision handling thatCo-Motion tandems are famous for equatesto better safety. This tandem is remarkablylightweight and fun to take up long climbs,yet rock solid and stable on winding descents.

Co-Motion’s unmatched ride quality is thefoundation of our tandem reputation, andwe believe in packaging it with beautifulworkmanship and finish. No one wants toinvest in a machine as well developed as theSpeedster without reaping the aestheticrewards that Co-Motion owners expect.Super precise TIG welded joints, impeccablefinish details, and show-quality custom paintare all yours to enjoy even when you don’thave the time to take a ride.

The Speedster’s frame is constructed withour exclusive Reynolds air-hardening steeltandem tube package, a Cro-Moly steelunequaled by any steel alloy used by othertandem manufacturers. As on all Co-Motionmodels, one-piece top and lateral tubeskeep the frame straight and strong with nointerruptions at the center joints. Thesezonally-butted tubes, made to our stringentspecifications, produce a lighter bettertandem. The result is that the Speedsterdelivers a ride that is crisp and comfortableat the same time.

A roomy stoker compartment, simple sizingsystem, and numerous stem selections forcaptain and stoker make a great fittingtandem a reality for just about any team.The Speedster’s high level of componentspecifications will leave you completelysatisfied that you own one of the besttandems the world has to offer.

SUPREMO

SUPREMO CO-P ILOT

There really are no other contenders whenit comes to the lightest, most competitiveand best performing tandems. The fact thatCo-Motion makes some of the best perform-ing tandems in the world is no secret. Thatour groundbreaking 30 lb. Supremo is builton a steel frame exemplifies our commitmentto pushing the envelope further.

You’ll have to look at tandems made fromexotic metals or carbon to find a tandem aslight as our new Supremo—matching itsperformance or the artistry of its constructionis completely out of the question. We’ve spentyears perfecting the Supremo’s geometry,balance, and its super-strong Reynolds 631zonally-butted air-hardened steel tubes toconcentrate the strength where it is mostneeded to channel your energy.

Besides the most sophisticated steel tubesetthat has ever graced a tandem frame, wecontinue to improve the breed with newlydeveloped components and proven perform-ers. The superb new Alpha Q X-2 carbontandem fork provides superb navigationwith unprecedented light weight. Clip inand spin the excellent FSA SLK MegaExocrankset, click through the Shimano DuraAce or Campagnolo Record drivetrain, andsavor the cool stuff that you had on yourwish list anyway. You know you want to.

You’ll be awestruck by the Supremo’sbreathtaking acceleration, effortlessclimbing, and smooth, precise road manners.Riding the Supremo will get your heartracing like climbing into a Formula One racecar at Monaco. You’ll be too absorbedin the perfection of performance to noticeyou’re well over the speed limit. Wipe thatgrin off your face.

ROBUSTA

The 27.7 lb Co-Motion Robusta painted Sunrise Pearl fading to Bittersweet Pearl and featuring our new carbon fork and seatposts by Alpha Q.

You’ve been cycling long enough to knowwhat a correctly engineered and well-constructed bicycle can do. Fanciful market-ing or scare tactics in the sales literature ofpretenders does not sway you. Nor will yoube seduced by the latest materials craze. Yousimply want every gram of performance youcan get.

Building the lightest, best-performingtandems available is more than simplyshaving metal or choosing underweightcomponents. Anybody can make lightweightbikes, but constructing tandems that holdnumerous national and international titles isa rarity. The Robusta is a proven performerthat has not only rocketed scores of athletesinto first place, it also holds up to the rigorsof innumerable training miles with ease.

Yes, the Robusta is lighter than ever before.We just can’t stop tweaking its performance,tuning the ride to direct more of yourmuscle power to those two little patcheswhere the rubber burns up the road. Howdid we do it? We designed theRobusta’s new incredibly lightzonally-butted ACMUltra7 tubing,and reworked the geometry aroundthe very sexy new Alpha Q X-2tandem fork. In fact, we redesignedevery millimeter of the Robusta,making it more performance-oriented than ever, while droppingits weight to a jaw-dropping 27.7lbs. Of course, it’s the ride qualitythat really counts. Wind up thistandem’s tachometer and let thedriven soul that has made theRobusta a legendary performershow you what it can do.

Beautiful, light and fast. At 24 pounds as equipped, this highly caffeinated tandem is designed for pure speed.Shown in Snowhite Pearl, it’s in a class of its own.

When Co-Motion Cycles introduced its firsttandems 19 years ago, we were consideredradical oddballs to design tandems just forpeople who like to go fast. We didn’t thinkit was so crazy to make tandems more likethe bicycles we all love to ride, so wecontinued dreaming up new ideas whilewe built our company making elegant,exhilarating, beautiful tandems.

Because the Macchiato looks different,it will be the subject of much speculation.The race to make better tandems has taughtus the importance of simplicity. Making alighter tandem means using less material,while rethinking where the material thatmust be used is most effective. In the trueminimalist sensibility, we’ve pared theMacchiato down to its essential elements,stripping away tradition along withunnecessary mass.

With its impossibly low weight, theMacchiato is equally surreal in performance.When it comes to putting cleat to pedal, theMacchiato very, very real. You won’t missthe tradition, the other tube, or the extraweight of other tandems when you fly upthe climbs and outstrip your personal bestswith unbelievable speed.

While outwardly simple, thecompact design of the Macchiatorepresents a reinvention of virtuallyevery tube in its construction. Ournew ACMUltra7 tubes cannot befound elsewhere. The Macchiato’simpressively sized bi-oval downtubeintersects with a deeply machinedheadtube, radically profiled zonally-butted top tube, and optimallyovalized seattubes, forming amuscular, compact stature.

Designed and custom constructed justfor you, we go the extra mile to makecertain your Macchiato is perfectly fittedand balanced to focus your strengths andharness the power of teamwork, and thepower of new ideas.

With effortless telescoping adjustability it’seasy to see why we named our revolutionaryline of family-style tandems the PeriScope.Designed to accommodate people of alldifferent sizes with fun and style, thePeriScope 26 is the perfect tandem forfamilies on the go.

The heart of the PeriScope design is ourdouble seat mast system, which providesfour times the range of adjustabilityof other tandems and accommodatesriders from 3 ft. to over 6 ft. Think of thePeriScope’s telescoping, precision aluminumseat mast and quick-release double-clamping system as a seat post within a seatpost that adjusts to fit virtually anyone.

The simplified frame you see in eachPeriScope uses specially designed exception-ally large diameter, zonally-butted tubing.Whichever PeriScope model you choosefeatures the lightweight and rigid compactframe design that supports the tall and thesmall with admirable performance. Safety,comfort and reliability never take a backseat to the design priorities of achievingexceptional stand-over clearance and user-friendly comfort.

We’ve taken great care with the PeriScopeline’s component selection as you’d expectfrom Co-Motion. You’ll find top-quality,tandem-ready components from the value-priced PeriScope Scout to the zingy newPeriScope Hammerhead.

The Co-Motion PeriScope Family Plan wasdesigned with growing families in mind butperforms outstandingly with virtually anycombination of riders. Really. Take one onyour club ride and then ride with your kidto the local park.

We’ve worked hard to develop thePeriScope Family into the most adaptabletandem in the world. Imagine the possibili-ties with your kids, your spouse and yourfriends. A Co-Motion PeriScope for yourfamily represents your commitment to ahealthy, inclusive lifestyle today and foryears to come.

Choose a 26" model PeriScope Scoutor PeriScope Torpedo for ease of use.26" wheels are tougher and they can takefatter tires, but don’t roll quite as fast as700c wheels. The 26" models will fit smallerriders than the 700c models. See sizing infofor details. If you enjoy road riding and youprefer 700c wheels, we recommend theScout 700, Torpedo 700 or the PeriScopeHammerhead. The 700c format gives up alittle of the sizing range that the 26" modelsoffer, with lesser ability to fit a small rider infront, and it requires a slightly larger stokeras well. How much of your family would youlike to fit on one bike? The PeriScopeTrident and Trident Convertible tripletexpand on the concept by placing threeriders together. Yes, we also make PeriScopequads and quints!

For 2007, taking the family along is a wholelot easier. The PeriScope Scout is a newmember to the PeriScope Family. The successof our other PeriScope models has made itpossible for us to produce the PeriScopeScout as a lower-priced alternative.Equipped with comfortable uprighthandlebars, twist-grip shifting, Avid rear discbrake, and a user-friendly attitude, thePeriScope Scout will impress you with itsincredible value and solid work ethic.

Sharing the same frame design as ourPeriScope Torpedo 26 and Torpedo 700, thePeriScope Scout raises the bar on packingfeatures no other bike manufacturer canoffer at an incredibly low price. With itsamazing ability to fit just about anyonefrom four to 99, you know we can fit you,all of your family and your friends too. ThePeriScope Scout’s unbeatable capability andcan-do attitude will bring your familytogether as it grows for years to come.

You’ll look and feel fast on a PeriScope Torpedo 26 painted with our Ferrari Red paint. Stop quickly too with standard disc brakes.

Since we introduced the very first PeriScopea few years ago, these amazing tandemshave really proven themselves! They fit justabout anyone; bike shops buy them todouble as rentals and even use them astandem-fitting aids. Of course, once you trya Co-Motion PeriScope, you realize it’s muchmore than just a super-adjustable tandem—it’s a very fine tandem that will impress youno matter what your experience or skilllevel. PeriScopes are showing up at tandemraces, centuries, cross-state rides, tours, andschool doorsteps, where Moms and Dadsdrop off and pick up kids thrilled to get toschool in a way that’s so much cooler thanthe bus or family sedan.

Whether you choose the PeriScopeTorpedo 26" or 700, you’ll know the optionsare wide open for riding with your kids,your friends, your bike club, and more.Choose the Co-Pilot option and take yourPeriScope Torpedo Co-Pilot to tour theavenues of France, or the coastline of Maui.With suitcase portability, your options arewide open!

PERISCOPE HAMMERHEAD

Just when you thought it was safe toget back in the water… The PeriScopeHammerhead pushes the PeriScope Familya step farther, taking performance up anotch higher than we expected to go.Everything you wanted in a tandem andthen some—superb adjustability suddenlysheds a couple of pounds.

The PeriScope Hammerhead’s ACMUltra7aluminum frame puts it in some pretty sleekcompany. Lighter than our Roadster,approaching the breakthrough weight ofour Robusta or our new Macchiato. TheHammerhead’s PeriScope features are fullyexplained on page 13. What is harder toexplain is how the PeriScope concept hastaught us new things about performancetandems as we develop new designs andwatch how these amazing tandems getused. We never expected to introduce aperformance PeriScope when we first beganwork on the idea years ago. Nor did weexpect the PeriScope to change our thinkingabout tandem design.

We visualize the PeriScopeHammerhead’s ideal team as say,a category 2 racer dad who wantsto get his kid and his wife to sharea little training time with him. Hecould wait until the kid will fit anordinary tandem, but why not geta PeriScope Hammerhead and teachthe kid how to spin maybe evenbefore the training wheels comeoff the little pink or blue bike inthe garage. Of course, knowing howother PeriScope buyers have beenfull of surprises, we’ll do our best toprepare for the Hammerhead to zipout of sonar range, only to circleback and show us what those teethcan really do!

…is designed for a wide spectrum of fittingoptions, and a stronger, lighter and moregraceful frame.

Where to start—It’s best to put the tallerrider up front in the captain’s position, whilethe smaller rider is the best choice for therear (stoker) position.

Pick a size—Select the tandem size whichbest fits the captain, and then consider thestoker’s fit. Stokers don’t need stand-overclearance (though it’s good if you can get it)to achieve a comfortable position.

Making a choice—Notice that each of youmay fit more than one size. We suggestlooking very carefully at one of the mostoverlooked aspects of bicycle fit:

Adjusting reach—Make sure the combina-tion of top tube length + stem matches yourneeds. To fine-tune your fit, we have severalchoices of front stems and two adjustablestoker stem choices. If you’re not sure aboutyour positioning, you may use our 13-pointCo-Motion Fit Guide and request assistance.

Choose crank lengths—Get the rightcrank length. Co-Motion offers tandemcranksets in several lengths to fine tune the

Please Note: Most airlines stipulate a limit of 62 linear inches for “checkable”luggage. Linear dimensions are the sum of the luggage’s length, width, andheight. The luggage we offer for our Co-Pilot bicycles is 62 linear inches or less.

Many other brands of travel bicycles and cases that are now being marketed asairline checkable actually exceed this 62 linear inch luggage limitation. Largerluggage is subject to surcharges and possible rerouting due to luggagecompartment limitations on some aircraft.

The Designer Hard Case from S & S Machineprovides a tough ABS plastic shell with aninterlocking perimeter lip for a tough enclosure.Low-profile wheels and pull handle make it asnap to maneuver your bike through crowdedairports. An external nylon webbing strapprovides added security to keep your valuablebike safely contained.(26"x 26"x 10"= 62 linear inches)

The S+S Backpack Case offers excellentversatility, especially for those who like to travellight. Constructed of heavy-duty Cordura nylon,this case is internally supported with an ABSplastic perimeter that velcros in place to protectyour bicycle. You can carry your bike on yourback using the backpack straps, (though youwon’t want to carry it far) or use it carry otheritems once the bike is removed. When notholding a bike, the backpack case collapses intoan easy-to-store package.(26"x 26"x 10"= 62 linear inches when full,approx. 26"x 10"x 3"collapsed for storage)

We designed our Co-Pilot Hybrid Case witheverything we’ve ever wanted in a travel case,and it comes with our highest recommendation.With a tough nylon fabric shell and ballisticcorner reinforcements, it’s got protective panelsto keep your bike safe. We fitted it with largersmooth-rolling wheels and a hidden telescopingPullman handle to make toting your bike aroundlong airport causeways much easier. This caserolls so nicely you can toss your other bag on toroll along with it. Webbing straps surround thebag’s contents, and heavy-duty zippers provideadded security.(26"x 26"x 10"= 62 linear inches)

Introduced in 1993, the S+S Machine Bicycle TorqueCoupling forever changed the image of travel bikes,making odd-looking folding bikes with non-standardparts obsolete. With the S+S Coupling, a true highperformance bicycle can be separated and packed fortravel quickly and easily in airline-checkable luggage.Our expert integration of the S+S Couplings will makeyou forget that the couplings are there, until it’s timeto pack up your bike and go!

In 1994, we launched the Co-Motion Co-PilotProject, becoming the first bicycle company in theworld to offer bicycles with S+S Couplings as astandard feature. Since then, we have expandedthe Co-Pilot Project by making S+S Couplingsavailable on any Cro-Moly steel Co-Motion tandemor single. Just say, “Co-Pilot” and we’ll make yourCo-Motion into a world-class travel bike. As theleading maker of S+S Coupling equipped bicycles,Co-Motion Cycles has the expertise to ensure thatyour travel bike is without equal.

A close look at the elegant S+S Machine BicycleTorque Coupling reveals the engineering thatallows the system to work so perfectly. Interlockingtapered teeth are drawn together by a threadedlockring. Incredibly, a well-made BTC-equippedbicycle frame is measurably stronger than anidentical frame without couplings. We silver brazethe S+S Couplings into our specially designed Co-Pilot Project tubing before hand-building yourbicycle frame.

Because we know you expect the best, Co-MotionCycles uses only hardened 17-4 stainless steel S+SCouplings. Many builders use weld-on couplingsmade from lower-grade stainless or even non-stainless material to reduce cost and speed upbicycle production. Hardened 17-4 stainless S+SCouplings assure a lifetime of flawless and corro-sion-free operation. We know that once you own aCo-Pilot, you’ll want to keep it forever.

CO-MOTION CO-P ILOT CONCEPT

A simple hook spanner, included with yourCo-Pilot, is all that is required to loosen orfasten the threaded BTC nut.

All Co-Motion Co-Pilot framesets includequick-release cable splitters to facilitatefast assembly and disassembly. Splittersinstall on both derailleur cables and therear brake cable.

Add the Co-Pilot option to your Co-Motion single

Co-Motion blazed a new trail for travel tandemswith a brilliant Six-Coupling system. Since our Co-Pilottandem frames separate into three sections, assemblyand disassembly is intelligently simplified. There’s noway to assemble out of sequence, no need to removethe fork, and there are no separate tubes to lose. Plus,we strategically locate our couplings for easy accesswithout knuckle-bashing interference from thechainrings. Our competitors simply overlook thesedetails that make your packing job easier.

No tandem maker is more thorough than Co-Motionwhen it comes to engineering the location of thecouplings for optimum frame strength. Each couplingis fully supported where it is integrated into the butted

Packing a genuine Co-Pilottandem takes less time than little-wheeled folding tandems. Ourthree-section design and easy-access couplers keep your packingjob simple. Two cases recom-mended for worry-free travel.

Every winter brings about a transformation for thecyclists at Co-Motion and all who live and ride herein Oregon. Suddenly the weather turns, and thesvelte road-racing bike no longer symbolizes anafter-work escape, but rather, a cold, wet torture.

Wherever you live, cycling through the seasons is achallenge. You feel clumsy riding your trusted roadbike in your knickers, booties, jacket, gloves andlayers. It’s tragically comical to outfit your road bikewith fenders—chopping and cutting zip ties andelectrical tape. You trudge through winter withoutshifting gears and end up dripping with road grime.
