Practical innovation Turning ideas into bicycles is more than just giving someone an order. At Co-Motion Cycles, we’re very practical about the way we do things. The bicycles shown on this website are a reflection of that. In fact, every one of our bicycles is evolved from our past experience- from the bicycles we ride ourselves to those we build for our customers. We began like many other framebuilders- building strictly custom bicycles. As time went on, we offered stock models based on what our customers were ordering. We tracked our fitting data, and paid attention when customers asked to change an angle here or there, or accommodate a new component or innovation. Now more than ever, we use customer input to influence how we’ll continue to push the evolution of the bicycle.

The Co-Motion Tandem difference We’ve long enjoyed a reputation for building tandems that simply handle better. Precision handling makes our tandems safer and easier to control. A slower handling bike might lull you into a false sense of security, but when it comes to avoiding obstacles, or executing a perfect mountain descent, no tandem will respond like a Co-Motion. Experienced cyclists will notice that they don’t have to re-learn bike handling, while new cyclists find that riding a Co-Motion tandem is easier than they ever imagined.

Is your Co-Motion tandem psychic? Your Co-Motion tandem always seems to know exactly where you want to go because our handling geometry and fork design doesn’t require over-steering or overcompensation. We’ve optimized the road feel with our specially designed and handbuilt tandem fork, which gives excellent fore-aft passive suspension while providing superb lateral rigidity. Our Co-Motion/WoundUp carbon tandem fork, jointly designed and built by WoundUp Composites, enhances the ride for performance-minded cyclists. But better handling isn’t just a formula. The entire frame, the tubing it’s constructed with, the way you fit into the bike, and all its components work in harmony to make a Co-Motion handle better.

Relax. You’re in control. Better control means you can relax and enjoy the ride. Confidence in your bicycle 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 your upper body, let your spine flex and respond as you ride, and loosen your grip on the handlebars. Because you’ll expend less energy on control, you’ll have more to invest in pedaling. It’s no wonder a Co-Motion feels easier to ride.
