A trike rider has no such fears and can power through fast bends with confidence. Trike riders can be much more aggressive with their brakes due to the greater contact patch of two front tyres and the benefits of weight transference under heavy braking. This weight transfer reduces the tendency of the wheels to lock under emergency braking enabling the trike to achieve a much shorter stopping distance than a bicycle. Trikes are particularly suited to long distance touring and make very stable luggage platforms. The Windcheetah has a specially designed luggage system that concentrates the extra weight very low down and within the front and rear axles.
Water bottles fall easily to hand allowing fluid to be taken safely whilst on the move.
An added bonus for Windcheetah riders is that the rear wheel is cantilever mounted. This eliminates the need to remove the rear wheel for puncture repair or tyre replacement. Serious tourists will understand what a bonus this can be on a heavily laden touring machine.
