The Performer JC-26X rear suspension tadpole recumbent trike comes with free shipping and no sales taxes.
The JC-26X introduces rear suspension into the model range. Standardized across the different speed models you’ll find a robust aircraft-grade 7005 aluminum frame, Tektro levers, and Michelin tires, plus the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) cushion mesh seat with a headrest.
The Chrome Moly fork means extra strength but not extra weight. Chrome Moly is a high-quality steel that will take the rigors that the roads will dish out in the thousands of miles ahead.
The 27 Speed is characterized by the 9s Sunrace cassette. The higher end of the chainring delivers a 52/11 for sporty descents and rip roaring tearaways along the flats. The lower end gives you a 30/34 combination that would get you up K2 in the Himalayas (and the rear rack gives you plenty of oxygen bottle storage capacity)..
The JC-26X has a powerful and durable braking system that provides superior stopping power.
The JC-26X is an affordable trike that has the best of both worlds: a rear suspension and a direct steer.

Thanks for your great review Vincent!!
Ordered a new JC-26X, arrived in pristine condition, well packed. It was fairly easy to assemble with the help of a You Tube video i found online. Manual leave a bit to be desired, photos don't clearly provide enough information. Bought some additional accessories for my headlight, color matched grip tape, and bottle cages. I'm really looking forward to my first extended ride.
Thanks for your great review William!! Enjoy riding your new recumbent JC-26X :)
So far this has been a great trike. They have made several changes since my first one, all for the better. The people at upzy have been very helpful with my order from start to finish
Thanks for your great review Garry!! We're happy to help you. You can never have too many trikes :) Enjoy riding :)
Wow, thanks for sharing all your cool trike photos Amanda!! Glad to know you're enjoying it :)
I am happy with the trike however I received it without the front fenders . I ordered this trike before they were optional . I feel I should receive them no charge. Thanks jim
Thanks for your review James. We've already shipped you the front fenders asap :)
