Delta Gravel

Description: The classic Delta handcycle style with two wheels in the back and one in the front. The gravel version of delta is more upright than road, has mountain bike tires, but no suspension and less clearance than off-road.

Pros Cons

Low center of gravity makes it more stable on turns More space to swing leg over crank Less complicated drivetrain (might be more reliable) More comfortable than the tadpole style

Bad turning radius Lower clearance Traction issues with front wheel spinning going up hills on gravel
