    Green S30??

    Yes, Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, but in my humble opinion the original factory paint job is way better! :D The original is a beauty!

    Green S30??

    I think thats an S30 Version 2 (The last iteration without a front suspension before S40 was released). It only had rear suspension and a 33deg seat recline. Some in the forums claim it to have been the fastest all round cruzbike on mixed terrrain (mix of climbing and on flat sections, rough...

    S40 Frame

    Those with an S40 can confirm where the frame serial number is. Is it at the headtube or at the bottom where the stays meet the main tube? With that Cruzbike can confirm the original owner, I think.

    I would have bought a Cruzbike much sooner if...

    Yes, you need to be a tinkerer to get a T50 to resemble an S40. It appears to be especially challenging for tall riders to get the T50 to fit and look like an S40. The bike above is similar to this one below with telescoping stem...

    That's a highly customized T50 by the owner. The frontend is not as stiff and as light as the S40 but still good for the price.

    Thor Carbon Sport on S40?

    Thor sport angle is too open for a 40 degree reclined seat. Thor Easy is recomended for S40 I think. Here is an S40 with Thor Easy seat: Build thread here: https://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/s40-build-notes.11777/

    S40- Wow!

    Function always comes first, how it looks is secondary! That said, however, I must say it looks fine to me.:)

    An S40 in China video number 2

    Nice video! They editing is good and getting better and better. Now try a 3rd person POV camera mount position slightly behind your shoulder for more cool shots!

    Mark B's S 40 Build

    I think your S40 is a good/better choice than the V for you. You just need time to adapt and fine tune your new position and I think it will be very fast and practical!

    Mark B's S 40 Build

    Wow! Nice! However I wish the S40 seat was as low as 520mm or atmost 550mm. But I guess they were considering clearance for the underseat panniers.

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    Interesting! I wonder how high is too high for the BB relative to the seat? :emoji_thinking: . Naturally then, adapation does take place after some time/miles on the said postion, I believe? Does enlisting more/different muscle groups trigger the heart to pump more/faster? As is the case with...

    The Optimum Hip Angle for Maximum power?

    Let me get this one correctly, so for the SAME measured power output and SAME HIP angle, the percieved effort goes up with a greater recline and higher BB? Does it mean the heart is working harder? It would be nice to plot this on a graph: recline angle versues power and Heart rate

    Cruztrike???

    Cruzbike tilting kit disassembly This is a third party kit and looks really nice. Will cruzbike work with this guy and realise a tilting trike addon kit?

    An S40 in China. Loving the bike :)

    On the other hand , probably the number of international customer orders are not high enough to justify warehouse costs for a small stock held in Taiwan? :emoji_thinking: Ah, well, I guess, in the end, it's just about what makes business sense, economies of scale e.tc.
