A BETTER WAY TO DO CARBON
Utilizing two breakthrough technologies licensed from VyaTek Sports, Santana’s revolutionary Beyond welded carbon tandem frame weighs in at 5.5 pounds. The Beyond is not only 15–40% lighter than previous tandem frames built from carbon, titanium, or aluminum, it also establishes new standards for stiffness and comfort.
The Beyond not only rides better, it’s a sound investment. Like every Santana built since 1976, the Beyond comes with a lifetime guarantee. And if it becomes damaged in an unfortunate accident, a Beyond with its welded construction can be repaired as good as new. Finally, smart buyers will want to consider resale value. If your children don’t eventually pry this tandem from your fingers, for over two decades Santana’s resale values have remained the highest in the entire bicycle industry.
