The Gran Tourismo is alluringly sophisticated with exhilarating performance resulting in the ultimate touring machine. With a nod to the original Tour, the GT is the culmination of over 20 years of continued innovation and customer feedback, resulting in the most comfortable and best handling TerraTrike to date.
The sporty yet elegant design is harmoniously
coordinated conveying both aesthetics and dynamics. Engineered from the
ground up to be efficient, beautiful and comfortable, it handles like a
sports car but rides like a luxury sedan.
The most noticeable change is the Y-frame
design which gives added strength while allowing for additional heel
clearance and ease in getting in and out. The equally noticeable
triangulated rear end adds pedaling efficiency, better aerodynamics,
reduced pedal steer and lower center of gravity so that you “stick” to
the road even at higher speeds. The chro-moly steel frame is durable,
more comfortable and provides a “passive suspension” with a smoother
ride. New seat mounting adds rigidity to the trike increasing efficiency
with every pedal stroke.
But it doesn't stop there. We’ve included direct steering along with
TerraTrike’s own “steering stack” that provides a responsive yet
predictable steering experience. The GT also comes standard with a 24”
rear wheel for higher top-end speeds, all while rolling more smoothly
over bumps and retaining momentum. To top it off, the aluminum seat
frame, handlebars and tie rod reduce weight without sacrificing
strength.
The Gran Tourismo features an extended seat
frame with an upgraded seat mesh. This is by far the most comfortable
seat we’ve ever produced and will result in longer, more comfortable
rides; featuring a breathable mesh and extra padding in “all the right
places.” The extra seat frame length is contoured to give additional
support and comfort. There is even a zippered pocket on the rear just
large enough for a wallet, keys or cell phone. The front wheels use a
rapid axle for easy removal for transportation; the seat, a single seat
bolt for quick and easy seat removal; and a single hex key for both.
Pair all of that with the stunningly beautiful paint colors and
you’ll be turning heads all day. The “wet” paint colors add more depth
of color and are durable. Sparkle Gold and Sky Blue are the signature
colors with limited edition colors being offered periodically.
Best of all, the Gran Tourismo accepts all
TerraTrike branded accessories, including the Storage Solutions lineup
of bags and panniers, making this the perfect trike for that
cross-country adventure, your daily commute or the leisurely ride to
your favorite local destination. Check the specifications page for the most current information.
