HP Velotechnik Speedmachine User manual

Look ahead: push the limits of cycling with the Speedmachine.The perfect machine for the cyclist who wants to reach new levels of speed and com-
fort. Efficient, fast and comfortable, the Speedmachine comes with superb options: integral steering tube suspension, adjustable ergonomic seat, sus-
pended rear rack, optional disc brakes ... and yes, even built-in Fahrvergnügen!
The Speedmachine is faster, more efficient and more
comfortable than you would ever have thought possible.
It's an ergonomic machine dedicated to absolute speed.
You have probably never ridden a bike this fast or this
comfortable. In fact you probably assumed that gain
meant pain. But the Speedmachine rewrites the rules. By
combining a super-oversized aluminium frame, a full sus-
pension ride and a totally ergonomic riding position with
perhaps the smallest frontal area on the planet, we have
created a machine to give you incredible performance
along with total comfort.
Remember, at racing speeds it's not weight that slows
you down, it’s the effort of pushing through the atmos-
phere. On the Speedmachine your body is an arrow, cut-
ting through the air with ease and giving you a seriously
unfair advantage. And in this riding position your entire
body is supported, so that your weight is distributed
over the largest possible area.
No pressure points!
Our suspension system is fully inte-
grated into the frame design, it's
fully tuneable for performance
and works completely indepen-
dently of your pedalling force.
We call this No Squat, and it is a system that has been
perfected over thousands of miles of extreme roads by
our team of test riders.What it means is, if you acceler-
ate uphill, you accelerate. And because it isolates you
completely from the road, your energy goes entirely into
forward motion. It works, so that you don't have to.
We haven't neglected the accessories either.We can
offer an integrated luggage rack, proper mudguards and
the best lighting system you can buy. Our BodyLink seat
ensures the perfect fit. Of course it is the technical
details that make the difference, and in this area our
experience is second to none.We made our first recum-
bent with full suspension back in 1991. Since then, our
Street Machine has become the most successful touring
recumbent in Germany. Our customers have taken our
bikes to every corner of the world and they have pro-
vided us with invaluable development feedback.
We put all this experience into our
design of the new Speedmachine,
combining long distance riding
comfort with incredible perfor-
mance. Arrange for your test
ride soon, and prepare to get
ahead of the crowd!

Plenty of space for your luggage and it is
all fully suspended.The result: fast suspen-
sion action and minimized vibration stress
for your equipment.The rear rack is a rigid
construction made from ½” alloy tubing,
perfect choice for carrying your panniers.
Ideal for great aerodynamics and high vol-
ume are our custom tailored Moonbiker-
panniers.The Lowrider rack is the perfect
place to hang heavy luggage.
Comfortable seat options:
The BodyLink hardshell
seat can be adjusted to fit
your body like a glove.
Alternatively, our ErgoMesh
and ErgoMesh XL seats
provide optimum breatha-
bility.They come with an
integrated pouch for your
small belongings.
The cockpit:With the telescopically
adjustable Above Seat Steering the
Speedmachine allows for precise han-
dling, fast cornering and superior aero-
dynamics. Choose between our Aero-
bars or the Tiller Steering to the rear.
Optional comfortable ergo-bars under
the seat for relaxed arms and wrists.
Protection for the chain and
your trousers; the drivetrain is
almost completely covered. Our
special low friction chain tubes
guarantee an efficient power
transmission and silent action.
Our No Squat suspension system is integrated into
the frame design. It is fully tunable for performance
and works completely independently of your ped-
alling force.What it means is, if you accelerate
uphill, you accelerate.And because it isolates you
completely from the road, your energy goes entirely
into forward motion.
Minimum weight combined with great torsional stiff-
ness: Our optional suspension fork is equipped with an
integral suspension system in the steerer tube. Due to
the fork’s compact design, the chain can run closely to
the frame and smoothly above the front wheel. Sharp
turns are easy without interfering with the chain.
Sturdy wheels with
silver anodized
aero rims and high
pressure tires.
Due to the low centre of gravity and the well
balanced weight distribution the Speedmachine
handles fine even when braking hard.
The optional disc brakes offer great stopping
power, allowing for a fast yet safely controllable
downhill ride. Safety plus: No more rim wear.
