The Unicorn 8 is our most affordable tandem.

The frame is made for Orbit Tandems by Kinesis and then is assembled by hand in our workshop in North Yorkshire. The Unicorn is responsive and easy to ride; the geometry gives it an expensive feel. The Unicorn is readily customised for you with the hubs and rims available in a variety of different drilling configurations.

Our Orbit tandems are finished with components made by top quality manufacturers, the Unicorn comes with Shimano gearing, a Truvativ tandem chainset and Continental tyres as standard. So despite being our most affordable tandem the Unicorn is capable of being loaded to the gills and ridden long distances. For teams and luggage over 160 kg add 48 spoked wheels.

• Wheels option - 26" or 700c
• 26" wheels come with 36 hole front and 40 rear

• Disc brake front fork with corresponding disc brake & 203mm rotor adds £250
• 48-spoke wheels add £35
