Because the Macchiato looks different, it will be the subject of much speculation. The race to make better tandems has taught us the importance of simplicity. Making a lighter tandem means using less material, while rethinking where the material that must be used is most effective. In the true minimalist sensibility, we've pared the Macchiato down to its essential elements, stripping away tradition along with unnecessary mass.

With its impossibly low weight, the Macchiato is equally surreal in performance. When it comes to putting cleat to pedal, the Macchiato very, very real. You won't miss the tradition, the other tube, or the extra weight of other tandems when you fly up the climbs and outstrip your personal bests with unbelievable speed.
