At Co-Motion Cycles, turning ideas into tandems is a way of life. From their beginnings in 1988 as a builder of fine custom tandems and continuing today, they have evolved into one of America's premier tandem companies. Co-Motion tandems are different. They're known for their precision handling, almost like riding a single-seat bike. Co-Motion's approach to tandem design is traditiional, but they've not been afraid to discard anything that doesn't serve the purpose of making their tandems better than the competition. The result? Co-Motion tandems always seem to know exactly where you want to go. You're in control! And better control means you can relax and enjoy the ride. Confidence in your tandem will make you a better cyclist, whether you're stoking or captaining. When you know that your tandem will do exactly what you ask, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the ride! How does Co-Motion know this? Simple! In addition to building some very fine tandems, they also ride them. They ride to work, ride for fun, and, occasionally, you’ll even see them riding in competition. Co-Motion Cycles also is known for listening to its customers, and to its dealers. When they hear a suggestion, from whatever source, they listen, evaluate it, and, if it’s feasible and it makes sense, incorporate what they’ve learned into the new models. Tandems, Ltd stocks most models of Co-Motion tandems. CO-MOTION Singles, Triplets, and Customs - Call for details! We can help you with a Co-Motion non-Tandem, too! | |

| Speedster | Ride a Speedster, you'll experience Co-Motion's better control that many other tandems simply lack. Co-Motion's advanced design and unmatched construction may make you forget you're on a tandem at all, which may explain why the a Co-Motion handles is often compared to top-quality single bikes.

| Speedster Rohloff | Take the basic geometry of the Speedster and redesign the rear triangle to accept the Rohloff hub. Say "good-by" to derailleurs and complicated controls. The internally geared 14-speed Rohloff hubs can do anything the derailleur-equipped Speedster can do, and it can do it beautifully! Size: (700c) 53x45cm, 56x48cm, 59x51cm, 59x45cm |
| Mocha | Versatility is by far the biggest reason to consider making the Mocha your all purpose recreational vehicle. The smaller diameter of the rims makes 26" wheels amazingly strong, and the wide array of available tires makes them very appealing. You can ride on tires ranging from 1" to 2.2" wide, with no tread at all or aggressive trail-grabbing lugs. The Mocha is ready for dedicated off-road use or strictly road riding: you choose. The degree of specialization is flexible too. You can fit the Mocha with upright handlebars with mountain bike controls or use drop bars with road-style levers. Size: (26") 46x36cm, 48x38cm, 52x42cm |

| Supremo | The Supremo represents a departure from traditional thinking about tandems. Co-Motion's goal was to create the lightest, beste performing steel-framed tandem ever produced. Taking advantage of Co-Motion's regarded geometry and advanced Co-Motion designed steel tandem tubing, the Supremo naturally naturally has a head start on every other contender. Equipped with the super-light Co-Motion-spec'ed carbon tandem fork, the Supremo raises the bar on tandem perfomance. The Supremo's lighter Rolf Vigor tandem wheelset and FSA Carbon Pro Mega Exo crankset make accelerating nearly effortless. Instead of a timing chain, the Supremo uses a Gates belt to transfer the power from Captain to Stoker.. Sweet! All told, it's an incredibly stout little two-seater rocketship! Size: (700c) 53x45cm, 56x48cm, 59x51cm, 58x47cm |
| Robusta | The Robusta's unbelievably light and rigid triple-butted Easton 7005 aluminum frame is the embodiment of the true racing tandem. Void of touring accoutrements and available only with a dual pivot front brake and an Avid rear disk brake, fast riding and optimized handling were the primary design objectives for the Robusta. Co-Motion achieved their goal, in part with the Co-Motion-Spec'ed Carbon Fiber tandem fork. In addition, the Robusta's wheels are built for speed, and acceleration. They are the fabulous Rolf Vigor tandem wheels, and they come fitted with Michelin Pro Race tires. The FSA Gossamer Mega Exo tandem cranks offer great performance and help keep the price reasonable. Experience for yourself how the Robusta will bring out the best from your team. Size: (700c) 21/18, 22/19, 23/20, 23/18 |
| Macchiato | How low (weight) can you go? Using Co-Motion’s new ACMUltra7 Aluminum tubeset in an open-frame design, this bike not only looks different, it IS different! Co-Motion has pared the Macchiato down to its essential elements, stripping away tradion(design) along with unnecessary mass. While this design is not for everyone, Co-Motion feels it’s definitely right for those whose goal in life is to fast with only the best of componentry. DuraAce 10-sp w/FSA’s Carbon Pro Mega Exo tandem crank keeps the weight about 25 pouds. And, of course, the Machiatto also uses the Gates Belt Drive, instead of a timing chain. Is this your ultimate tandem? Size: (700c) custom size, built to order. |
| Co-Pilot Option | You may have noticed the absence of the Co-Pilot in the list above. That's because Co-Motion is now offering the "Co-Pilot Option" on any steel frame tandem listed above. Yes, that means you can purchase a Supremo/Co-Pilot! or a Mocha/Co-Pilot. Or even a Primera/Co-Pilot or a PeriScope Torpedo/Co-Pilot! Adding the Co-Pilot option to any steel frame tandem adds the flexibility of being able to take your tandem with you on your trips. Once your tandem is in its cases (we recommend two hard cases, but you can also use a backpack case or one hard case and one lightweight case for your wheels), you can check your tandem as luggage. The 26x26x10 size is within the airline limits for checked baggage, as long as you don't overpack. Best of all, it takes less than an hour to assemble or disassemble a "Co-Pilot" tandem. (Some practice may be required). Price: Depends on # of couplers required. |
