About 99% of Haluzak’s recumbents are USS, SWB bikes with bar-ends and bar-con shifters. Their rider position, handling, and comfort are similar. You can order a Haluzak with OSS handlebars; these are about 1% of their sales. The frame finish detail, rider position, and low-speed handling are excellent.

High-quality Shimano components and Bar-Con shifters combined with short cable runs make gear shifting on the Haluzak pretty easy. The newer Haluzak chain idler (double grove, over/under design made form a skateboard wheel) is nearly silent and trouble free. The USS handlebar and bar-end combination gives a hand-arm position as comfortable as any USS ‘bent. Their low-speed maneuverability is excellent, high-speed stability is not so good. Haluzak’s climb well, too but are not fast on the flats.
