Raptor trike
Hi there,I'm looking at buying a used Raptor trike here in New Zealand.I haven't been able to find much info on these machinces here.It's a 582,trim wing model with 150 hours on clock, any feed back on these machines would be appreciated. Cheer's Jono
Hi Jono & Jojay
Sorry this took so long
don't know why someone has not posted something about the Raptor before
Manfred builds a very strong trike, everyone will agree that it has a neat, strong cart and a smooth wing that is both stable and fast.
Mine cruises hands off 49 knots with the wing set to the second hole from the back, I think if you set her a bit forward you might get another 5-8 knots or so.
The seating on the trike is comfortable for me but I think anyone over 100 kg is going to have a tight fit, very nice paniers with loads of space.
Mark and Roy Gregson used a Raptor in the world champs this year just to give you a idea that it is a world class trike build by a decent chap
Hope this helps
