Carbon full fairing |

 The carbon full fairing is a coproduction of Derk Thijs from Thys Rowingbikes (www.rowingbike.com) and Bram Moens from M5 Recumbents. The fairing has been finished in 1996 after investing some 600 hours of work. Inside the fairing a standard Cr-Mo M5 Low Racer is mounted, equipped with M5 carbon diskwheels (20 inch front, 28 inch rear). The fairing itself is made of carbon and is strengthened with Dyneema® from DSM, an aramid-like tissue which is especially suitable for absorbing peak forces on small areas. When the fairing would get on it's side, this material will minimize the damage. The window is made from Lexan®, a polycarbonat. The bike is not just a potential record machine, it's also user friendly designed. Thanks to foot hatches, starting and stopping without help from others is possible. During riding, the ventilation opening in the nose of the fairing can be tuned and there's even a toilet on board. These properties have contributed positively in establishing the first place at the non-stop race Trondheim-Oslo in 1997, also see the recordspage Spectaculair is the developed speed at a certain power input: when pedalling on a racing bike in the 'dropped bar position', the speed is around 35 km/h. With the same effort in the M5 fairing the developed speed is approximately 76.5 km/h !! Technical data:
