Handcycle Style Comparison

There are different styles of handcycles that are optimized for different use cases. The Delta style handcycle is the more classic design and can be the most comfortable if it is the Delta Gravel or the most aerodynamic if it is Delta Road, but the front wheel can lose traction on the dirt, so off-road handcycles started two have two wheels in the front and the drive wheel is in the back so that you get significantly better traction.
