Bacchetta Bicycles

Bacchetta is a brand of recumbent bicycles based in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. The company was founded in 2001 and it primarily makes short wheelbase recumbents.[1] Bacchetta makes the number one selling recumbent bicycle of all time, the Giro, and claims to have sold more recumbents in the market than any other manufacturer.[2] In 2012, they helped sponsor a 4-person team for the Race Across America that completed the race in six days, 21 hours and 29 minutes.[3] In 2011 Bruce Gordon of British Columbia, Canada made a round-the-world ride in 153 days, a Guinness record. He made his trip on a Bacchetta Corsa.[4][5] Many HPRA (Human Powered Race America) Track Records have been set by Bacchetta riders on events from 200 meter sprints to 1 hour time trials.[6] In 2018, Bacchetta expanded their product line into recumbent trikes by introducing the CarbonTrike CT2, the world's lightest production trike and the first production trike made out of carbon fiber.[7]
