(3) One reason it works better is because of the 'new cable routing tubes' that direct the cables low and rearward out of the rider's field of view. Another reason is our "Patent Pending" design also minimizes cable rotation and flex which helps prevent cable fatigue and breakage. A final and very important aspect of the new design is how it places the weight and flex forces of the cables in a completely "neutral balanced location" with respect to the T-handles. What this means is that if you rode with controls mounted on the T-handles with the cables routed vertically in the conventional way you would notice, as we did when designing this model, that there is a distinct 'imbalance' in the T-handles. This 'imbalanced force' while pedaling eventually causes wrist fatigue. This new design totally eliminates this 'imbalance' and virtually eliminates wrist fatigue. You wouldn't even know there were cables attached unless you looked!

(4) Freedom Ryder handcycles already offer more adjustability than any other handcycle and we've improved the LC-1 to allow an even lower and more forward crank location for even better power delivery.

Combine these features with our popular cranks that are lighter, stiffer and more ergonomically correct (see 'design') than any others on the market and you end up with the finest lean steer handcycle on the market today.
