The Gold Rush Replica (GRR) is one of the fastest production bikes
in the world. Fast Freddy Markham rode our racing prototype into history,
setting a land-speed record at 65 mph. The production Gold Rush model
is a direct replica of the original design, now on display in the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, D.C. The Replica has the same geometry as
the original, but has a seat, handlebars, and gearing more suited to street
use. It reviewers have called it one of the fastest and most comfortable
bikes on the market. The aluminum frame is rigid in the right places
but
flexes for comfort over bumps.
The Gold Rush replica is not just a racing bike. Its EX (for expedition) model is an ideal bike for long trips. There is nothing fragile about the GRR EX. Its long wheelbase gives it great stability with a load. You can add a Zipper fairing and windscreen for maximum weather protection and streamlining. The standard "cobra" seat is the hardcore racer's choice. Its narrow back is foam over solid fiberglass, kevlar and carbon fiber. The stiffness of the seat back gives its riders a slight speed advantage. The optional "Cool Back" seat is vastly more popular. Its full width mesh back is very breathable and comfortable. Most of our customers prefer the cool back seat.
