Here a series of pictures with close ups and details from an Oryx 26-26, one of the 4 new models launched this year. Yes, we do agree it was a long wait for the follow up of our Lynxx, Orca, Condor and Dragon. Maybe you can understand why by viewing these pictures showing you the numerous improvements on the new frames. Over the years we listened to our customers and added them all in while Yme and Arend jan designed the new range.

All 4 of our new allround and travel models benefit from the following changes, some of them of which are also included on the High Baron. Enjoy >>>

Our new bikes are out on the road and thus the first action pictures are coming in through the mail. Elena is riding a 20-26 Oryx in above steering version.

The new Oryx 20-26 is the successor of our renowned Lynxx, that used to be the most versatile and easy access model of our range. The Oryx is even better at all this, more stable and with a higher bracket it allows the smallest riders to ride a recumben without any interference of bracket and front wheel. Elena measures 1.56 and still plenty of margin to confirm you that the new Oryx is suitable for riders of 1.50m and taller. Available in upper and understeer, it is one of the rare USS models on the market available for smaller riders.
