Folding Sport Trike
The X-Series of trikes is based on the GT3 platform of folding, but made to be a sportier/faster machine. The fold is the same as the GT3 (eg. there is a hinge in the middle of the frame and the seat attaches via a single bolt and two elastomer bushes that locate on stainless steel pins.) The whole trike folds down in minutes to fit into a regular trunk.
The front end is a little different to the rest of the Greenspeed models, the wheels have 5 degrees of negative camber and some extra caster gives better feedback through the handlebars and some more "self centering" effect. The cambered front end also makes the tires hook up to the asphalt like never before and helps wear the tires more evenly.
The seat has been raked back from 40 degrees to 30 degrees, just like the GTS, which makes carving through the breeze even easier, and also aids in comfort for extended sessions in the saddle.
The X5, like the GT5, also features four pot hydraulic disc brakes from Alligator brakes, these have all the power and modulation you'll ever need.
Coming soon will also be interchangable seats made from carbon fibre/kevlar to a/ reduce weight and b/ lower the seat height for better cornering ability.
