We want to help you discover what you will do with your

Co-Motion, whether its a tandem, road bike, cross bike,
or tourer, its really all about the kind of adventure youre
ready for. Inside, well show you a few of the ways you
can enjoy exploring the neighborhood and the world
around us on Co-Motion bicycle made just for you. Your
adventures may include a daily commute, morning and
afternoon bonding time with your school-age child,
discovering long forgotten roads into the back country,
or traversing the spine of your favorite continent. We
specialize in bicycles that are made to do these things
for you, beautifully.

Dwan Shepard & Dan Vrijmoet

Here, the real art of the bicycle is

for each to have its purpose.

Co-Motion Cycles started simply: We built a few bikes for ourselves and our friends, and discovered that we were able to rise to the occasion when challenged by
new ideas or problems. Not once have we stopped questioning the way things have always been done. While finding better ways to make our bicycles stand apart,
weve learned more than we ever imagined, from designing new bicycle tubing to the intricacies of our own CNC machining and maintaining an amazing, talented
workforce.
These years have taught us the joy of coming to know the people most important to us: Our customers. From global tourists to Paralympic gold medalists to the child
starting on the back of her parents tandem, and everyone who just wants a beautiful bike ride; we thank you all so much. Our business has thrived only because
you entrusted us to build you a great bike. We promise to you that we will make your next bike right here in Oregon with love, with pride and the care and attention
to detail that you have come to expect, as always.

PeriScope Scout

Cycling as a Family

Incredible value in a beautifully made tandem

thats well-equipped for your next family adventure.

Connecting with your kids on a tandem is a wonderful way to bring your family together for adventures to grow on. Your PeriScope tandem grows with your
children until theyre at least as tall as you are. Simple, no-tool adjustment means that Mom or Dad can ride with the kids in seconds. Smaller adults and
difficult-to-fit pairs of all descriptions will find the PeriScope fits perfectly, with that Co-Motion ride quality youve heard so much about.
For middle school kids and larger, consider our Primera and Mocha tandem models, with great value and fitting range for mid-sized kids as well as adults.

PeriScope Torpedo

All the family-friendly PeriScope features with a strong step up in performance

and component selection.

PeriScope Hammerhead

Youre a racer, all your bikes are made to go fast, and you want to get your kid

TOURING

Primera - 700c

The rugged adventurer within calls you to get away from it all, on a bicycle
that is built to its purpose more than any other in the touring category.
Whether your definition of touring is a weekend at a nearby lake, or an epic
global expedition, we make the touring bicycle thats just right for you.

A benchmark for performance, value

and durability, the Primera employs
outstanding Co-Motion design to take on
any task youd ask of your tandem. From club rides to self-contained
touring, the Primera demonstrates its Co-Motion heritage with
grace and style.

Every Co-Motion touring bike features details you will not find anywhere
else, including custom model-specific tubing designed and manufactured
just for us. We make everything else here, from the CNC-machined dropouts
and head-tubes, to bottom bracket shells and hand-built forks. All designed
to carry big loads securely and comfortably, while never letting you forget
youre on a rock-steady, beautifully constructed Co-Motion.

Speedster - 700c

Take an extended tour, enter a tandem

rally, or just enjoy your favorite stretch of

cyclists, you can climb off your road bike and immediately feel like
you belong on a Co-Motion Speedster.

Cascadia - 700c

Travel

Getting there

Is there a better purpose for a bicycle than the daily duties

of carrying you to work or taking a few groceries home?
Were avid bike commuters here, proud that our community
rates as one of the Nations tops in everyday cycling.

While almost any bike can serve as a city beast of burden in a pinch, your choice of a Co-Motion single or tandem model
paired with our experience braving the Northwests sopping streets year round will have you grinning to and from your
most-visited destinations.

Where will you be taking your bicycle next? With

a Co-Motion Co-Pilot, your bike can fit into airlinecheckable luggage, opening up a whole world of
cycling destinations. Co-Motion Co-Pilot bicycles and
the people who ride them have cycled on every major
land mass on earth. Yes, even Antarctica.

Single bikes for your commute

NorWester

The road bike that takes bigger tires + fender is ideal for a century ride or your
ride in to the 9- 5 shift. Sling a bag over your shoulder or carry a pannier for
your packed lunch and a change of clothes.

Cascadia Alfine

The Cascadia Alfines internal gearing and Gates Carbon Drive belt keep your
commute and your errands clean and hassle free. Equipped to accept your
favorite fenders and racks, the Cascadia Alfine takes a load off your mind.

Americano Rohloff

Just because the Americano Rohloff is built for global touring doesnt mean
you have to keep it garaged. Let it serve as your beast of burden any day of the
year. Toss your tablet, your lunch, and a change of clothes into your waterproof
panniers, and keep your legs ready for your next continental crossing.

Co-Motion has been the world leader in S+S couplerequipped travel bikes since launching our Co-Pilot
project in 1994: Superb bicycles with full sized frames
and wheels that simply fit into luggage. The 17-4
stainless steel S+S Coupling features interlocking teeth,
drawn together by a threaded lock ring. Incredibly,
a Co-Motion Co-Pilot bicycle frame is measurably
stronger than an identical frame without couplings. We
offer a wide range of bicycles with the Co-Pilot option
to fit all of your travel needs.

Tandem bikes for your commute

PeriScope Scout

Your daughters elementary school is between work and home, so why not
use the PeriScope for double duty? Drop her off at school, and ride on to work.

Carrera

You both work downtown, so why not make the commute on a tandem? Start
and finish your working day right together, and enjoy the free workout!

that tandems could be more than just an amusement for older couples, and took them to a higher

road tandem or single road bike. All you need is an appreciation for acceleration and a will to push
your pedals a little harder. Your club mates will be green with envy.

competitors: ACMUltra 7 aluminum frame with tapered

task of CX racing. You decide where your adventure
takes you.
