Rans produced the Rocket SS bike in 1997 and can be classified as a Recumbent bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $3,549.99.
Rans Recumbent Rocket SS can be found in one single color which is Custom.
This bike is equiped with 20 x 1.125" Continental Grand Prix tires and DT titanium spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by HED, 28-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with Machine Tech QL brakes, Machine Tech QL levers braking system and Phil Wood hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used Chromoly, oversize material for the frame. Rans aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Rocket SS to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Rans.
