Description
The Verano has a moderately reclined, non-extreme seating position. With a 26″ rear wheel, 20″ front wheel and a 54″ wheelbase, the Verano bicycle is about a foot shorter than the Ranger, and only about 8 inches longer than a typical upright mountain bike or touring bike. Its weight distribution is about 55-60% on the rear and 40-45% on the front (changes slightly with rider height), making it very stable in braking, resistant to loss of traction on either tire, and able to better handle side-winds when faired than it would be with a short wheelbase. These attributes are made possible by the medium wheelbase, the mixed wheel size, and purpose-designed frame geometry. The standard Verano has a 23-24″ seat height and best fits riders 5′ 2″ to 6'2″. (A Custom XL size is available (4″ longer, 2.5″ taller), which fits persons up to 6'10″. )

The Verano has a medium-reclined seating position, with the crankset spindle 3.75 - 4.75″ above the nominal height of the seat. This position is more aerodynamic than the relaxed seating of the Ranger recumbent bicycle and even the World Traveler bike. The more laid-back posture requires a little more agility when mounting. Many people will find the medium-reclined position more comfortable over very long distances than a more upright position might be. Less agile, less flexible and heavier people may not find the higher leg position to their liking. Persons with back pain will often find that the more reclined position and adjustable Lightfoot seat back combine to significantly relieve symptoms.

The Verano seating position is tuned just right to avoid some problems that more reclined recumbent bikes often have. Its seating is less reclined than the seating/pedal relationship used on many (especially European "low-racer" and American "high-racer") recumbent bicycles. The rider's neck is still easily held in a neutral position on the Verano; you don't have to strain to hold your head up, or settle for bouncing your head on a headrest. Unlike many low-racers and high-racers, one's knees and the handlebar (once adjusted) aren't up in the line of sight. The Verano seating position also puts it at the limit of what can be faired without the fairing getting in the line of sight and obscuring the road ahead.

The aerodynamic efficiency of the Verano has not been measured. Racing and group riding indicates that it is faster than common long-wheelbase recumbent bicycles with low bottom brackets, and suggests the naked bike might be roughly comparable to an upright road bike with lycra-clad rider 'on the tops'. A tailbox can raise its cruising speed by several percent, and a front fairing can add a few more percent.

Though most often outfitted with narrow high-pressure tires, the versatility of the Verano lends itself to the kinds of uses (commuting, trail riding) that require fatter tires, which it accommodates nicely.
