Crank Forward
RANS has built crank forward bikes for years, which blend the benefits of a recumbent seat position with an upright bicycle. This geometry is achieved by placing the crank forward and lower than a typical diamond design. This crank position is used for the stoker on all RANS tandems and featured on the Stratus.
A Recumbent Legend
The unique design of the Stratus has recently been imitated by other recumbent brands because of its upright seated position, which is not quite as laid back as other recumbents – yet equally comfortable. This crank forward positioning also makes it easier to mount and dismount the bike.
