2008 Bacchetta Corsa
Since the Corsa received a face lift in 2005, it has become one of the most sought after performance recumbents on the market. Not only does the Corsa model come with a rigorously tested Aluminum frame, it also comes standard with the evolutionary EuroMesh saddle and a component package that will make your fellow recumbent riders salivate!
Check out the complete component package for the Corsa, ride one for yourself and you'll very quickly see why all of the other Corsa riders on the road have just two words for their recumbent cycling brothers: See ya!
If you are in the 5’5” to 5’10” range and want the performance and ride of dual big wheels, but the starting and stopping aspects of the dual 650c bikes tends to be a little too much to handle, check out the Corsa 24 Option.

Corsa 24 Option
The Corsa 24 is a great option for those people in the 5’5” to 5’10” range who want the performance and ride of dual big wheels, but in which the starting and stopping aspects of the dual 650c bikes tends to be a little too much to handle. Many people in this height range find that starting and stopping on a dual 650c bike, leaves them on the balls of their feet or on their tip toes, which can cause a loss of confidence in a lot of “stop and go” situations such as city riding. With the Corsa 24 you retain the same frame and equal components of the standard Corsa (the two bikes look identical), however you are now a full 1.75” closer to the ground with the dual 24” wheels versus the dual 650c wheels. For a person who is on their tiptoes, this will put you almost flat footed and give you a lot more riding confidence.
