The TerraTrike Path has been extremely popular, but here in Utah 3 gears is seldom enough, that's why we've created the custom Path 8 DL. Unlike our Path Plus series which uses internally geared hub transmissions, the Path 8 DL keeps things simple (and less expensive). The Path 8 DL features a new wheel, 8-speed MegaRange cassette, Shimano Altus derailleur, and a SRAM MRX shifter as stock equipment.

We've found the 8-speed setup provides an adequate gear range for most people, but we also offer some gearing upgrade options:

Schlumpf High Speed Drive
24-speed front gearing upgrade
Bar-end shifters

The DL features a standard derailleur gearing system with an 8-speed cassette. The Path 8 features the Sturmey Archer 8-speed geared hub.

Please contrast the shifting between your Path DL and the Path 8. Also what happens to the factory warrenty?

The DL version features a standard derailleur and 8-speed cassette. The non-DL version uses the Sturmey Archer 8-speed hub transmission.
Because we are not modifying the frame at all the warranty is unaffected.

I recently purchased a Path 8 DL from Utah Trikes to use as a communter vehicle around the Houston/Clear Lake/NASA area. I am delighted with it's smooth ride and comfortable riding position. So much better than my bike! No strain on my wrists, no pain from the bike seat! YEAAAA!

What are the advantages of the DL model over Sturmey Archer 8-speed. Do you loose too much top end speed going from 35-109 to 25-78. Slightly better on hills I assume.

Our DL model uses a standard derailleur which is more familiar to some people. The DL system can also be upgraded with a front triple for a 24-speed option. The DL can also work with the BionX.

What happens to the gear ratio when using the 9 speed cassette on the rear as an option?
 Posted by IanD
 01/30/2010 07:27:11 AM
The gear range will stay the same, but you will have one more inbetween gear.
 Posted by Ashley
Do you do the upgrades for the front triple? What would that option cost?

It costs $200. We can do that for you.

WHAT IS BEST FOR BEACH RIDING,DL, OR PATH 8?

I'd probably go with something without a derailleur for the sand.
