M5 Titanium Carbon Low Racer beats records |
 Last week Greg Gross participated in a 4-man recumbent only team in the Texas Time Trials, an event that draws riders from all over the country. It is a tough course: 20 mile loops done 25 times for a distance of 500 miles total. The course has 1000 feet of climbing for each loop. Greg rode the M5 TiCa Low Racer that he purchased from Garrie Hill. On his first lap, he beated the standing lap time record by 1m15s, beating the previous record of 51:30. He was also told he had an unofficial record of most consecutive loops completed in under an hour, with 5 of his 6 laps. Lap times were 50:15, 52, 57, 55, 57, and 1:03.

M5 crank sets in every day use |
19. August 2007 | |
 After the extensive tests in the laboratory, we're now doing the testing "in the field". Several M5 recumbent riders are testing the cranks during a long time and a lot of kilometres.
First report from users: Really stiff and light weight and I feel in my feet that it's much lighter... |
