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

Anybody got contact details for Monty
