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.Below the a link to the internet site of The Texas Time Trials. | ||

Paris-Brest-Paris with M5 Recumbents! |
August 14th, 2007 | |
 During the upcoming Paris-Brest-Paris race from August 20 to 24 2007 a large number of people will participate on an M5 recumbent. During this non-stop monster trip quite a lot of riders will use our latest model, the M5 Carbon High Racer.Participants from our region (Zeeland, the south west of the Netherlands) are Mr. J. Bouman from Goes (age 65 plus) with an M5 City Cruiser/Tail Bag, Perry Stoel from Grijpskerke with an M5 Carbon High Racer/Tail Fairing and Rob Stricker from Zoutelande with an M5 CrMo Shock Proof 559 and Tijmen Hoeven, at the moment living in Zaandam, with an M5 Carbon High Racer/Tail Bag combination. Also worth mentioning is the Australian participant Andrew Heard, who already was preparing for this PBP for three years. During his holiday in England M5 Titanium Shock Proof 451 was stolen ... To compensate his loss a little, we decided to offer him an identical replacement to enable him to participate after all. Other participants are also supported with things like fast wheels and/or Tailfairing to reach a better placement. | ||
Vikingtour 2007 |
August 9th, 2007 | |
Stefan Vanlerberghe on behalf of M5 on a High Racer | ||
) Stefan Vanlerberghe from Belgium did participate for M5 in the Viking Tour 2007 in Norway and did also very good going up the mountains. During the Vikingtour not the whole trip is timed, but only certain parts of it. Unfortunately the parts which are most suitable for recumbents weren't... Nevertheless Stefan managed to get the best out of it, also during steep climbing.Also check Vikingtour.no | ||
