crazy breaking system there.
And they say those with disabilities have it hard! Just kidding. Thats is an awesome ride and props to anyone who rides it and keeps their head held high!
No, its fourcross, 4x, mountain cross, whatever you want but it is tipically ridden on 2 wheels...this bike is designed for the disabled so they can do the same, theres not a different name, just a different class.
fourcross is two things when i think of it either racing 4x (meaning 4 across on the gait) or haveing 4 wheels
dude that is sweet to bad there are some crappy x-fusions on there actually it looks like an old vanilla
Isnt there a lever design that allows one lever to be used on two brakes now? Its just super fat where it goes into the master cylinder and has two rods? I'm sure i've seen it.
Awesome though, but its not really a bike bike lol.

Actually, I had a chat riding in Panorama with a dude shredding one of these rigs. The two lever system is much better he said. It is harder to control all four levers at once, there is a constant imbalance of braking power at the wheels. Allot of skidding occurs from the imbalance. He had the two levers on one side and a single on the other because he blew a master cylinder the day before. Thats my two cents. -Go ride.

They have a guy in NWD3 in one, he eats shit off a snowjump. Those things look sketchy, you have like no control in the air you just get to go where it takes you.
thats looks amazing
just one question: do the brakes effect front/rear or left/right? so say i pull the left levers, would both back brakes come on, or would both left brakes come on?

gd point, was wondering the same point
would imagine it like a normal bike, rear on one fron on other so can pull both together and brake evenly...if u think about it it would be hard to pull just the bottom levers:S

it'd HAVE to be that both back brakes come on (or - seeing as it's NOT the UK, both FRONT brakes for the left lever!). those look like modified Cannondale Lefty hubs as well! that's a f*ckin' BEAST!

pretty sweet. but id like to see how you sit it in it looks like it would be uncomfortable to reach to the handle bars or do you put you knees in the seat? any one have any clue?
I doubt it's uncomfortable if you can't feel anything below your waist. This machine is for people whose legs are paralyzed. f*cking idiots.
i think i would try to figure out a way to have only one brake lever on each side. maybe like a "T" or splitter in the hose so it controls both calipers. the only problem is i don't know if the master cylinder in one lever would be big enough to squeeze both calipers enough.

that would take away the 4 wheel advantage of 4 brakes, if their was only front and back levers, u cant grab the inside brake on turns to help u drift them, i want to try one of these so bad. I dont think this one is made for DH or FR, but i what else is their to do on it, XC wud suck with out peadaling ud have to push the whole way.

When the rider sits in the seat the shocks compress so the handle bar isn't so far away and the good thing about it is that it has independent suspension 
And I agree with the brake lever thing ...it would be much simpler to use only one brake lever with one bigger cylinder ant a splitter for the rear/front brakes

I think the brake levers are bolted together. It's hard to tell in this pic, but, I think there is a little bracket conecting the levers.
if you wanted to only put just left or just right brakes on you only squeze one leaver on each side so that is the best way to do it coz it gives you more choice
and you save on a chainset, pedals, cranks, gears, bottom bracket. basicly the bits that go wrong

id love to own that....broom off road....it would be cool if it had 27 gears and all the wheels turned ifpedaled....hey wouldant that be cool!

IF YOU READ ANY OF THE COMMENTS YOU WOULD REALISE IT HAS NO DRIVE!
Secondly incase you don't realise, the people using the fourcross bike are not capable to pedal...work it out yourself.
Serious respect and props to these dudes, they really have the spirit of a biker

just put pistons where the hose splits and have it so its really three seperate hoses that screw together somehow ?

I'm sure if you ever learned something about fluid dynamics you would understand. Its called a proportioning valve. Think about how one brake pedal controls your entire braking system on a car. The master cylinder isn't that big on a car( maybe about 5-6" long by 3" wide), but it requires a booster of some sort to acquire the amount of pressure required to stop the car. It is totally feasible to have only two levers. Big master cylinder, and small braking pistons = lots of pressure. -Go ride.
all you people saying stupid shit are dumb as hell... this bicycle right here, gives disabled people a chance do what they love and to ride a bike agian. i love seeing these built because not only are they dope, but just cause someones in a wheel chair doesnt mean that they cant ride a bike anymore..
My heart goes out to any person that is disabled and shreds one of these. They have to be truly dedicated with the spirit for biking polished to the T. They are way braver than any of us that ride two wheels. Think about going over the bars sitting down all crouched up like that. Yikes I says.
one thing to make it better would be to make a t in the rake lines so that you only have to run one set one brake leavers. other then that its great.

Because your so close to the ground you would feel like your going so fast and off drops it would be crazy fun.
if you're feeling lopsided on wierd days do you set the suspension differently on the sides? haha, but dang four shocks? monay...
