Steelhead – The Ultimate Adventure Tandem

Inspired by the native Steelhead fish of the Pacific Northwest, this tandem is built for adventure on any road—whether it’s paved, double track, or gravel-covered. Designed for versatility, the Steelhead Tandem is the perfect companion for weekend explorations, endurance races like the Land Run 100 and Belgian Waffle Ride, or long-distance Gran Fondo events. With its light yet rugged steel frame, it offers a smooth, responsive ride no matter the terrain and complete control over the bike(no twist or bend in the frame under pressure).

Key Features:

  • Optimized for 700c wheels with 32-45mm tires for all-road capability
  • Exclusive Reynolds 631 air-hardened steel frame for strength and performance
  • Tapered head tube with Co-Motion 1.5” TA carbon fork for precision handling
  • Disc brakes and hydraulic-ready cable routing for superior stopping power
  • Rack & fender mounts for touring and adventure flexibility
  • CNC-machined chainstay yoke for added durability and stiffness
  • Boost 148x12mm and 110x15mm TA dropouts for stability and wheel compatibility
  • Internal Di2 wiring ports & Hydro brake mounts for a clean, modern setup
  • Frame upgrade options: Fillet-brazing, Co-Pilot couplers for easy transport
  • Drivetrain choices: Shimano or SRAM eTap for seamless shifting

From gravel adventures to high-speed endurance rides, the Steelhead Tandem is engineered to handle it all. Get ready to explore new roads and push your limits!

Drivetrain Options - What Drives You?
You've decided which Co-Motion is right for your kind of riding. Did you know we're also the leader in tandem drivetrain options? These are the available drivetrain options for the Steelhead.

Gear Inches- The descriptions above refer to gear inches for comparison purposes. The term refers to the effective equivalent wheel diameter per pedal stroke. For example, if you're pedaling the Steelhead with SRAM AXS in first gear, each full pedal stroke will produce the equivalent of one wheel revolution of a 23.6" wheel, while the highest gear will produce the equivalent rotation of a 122.6" wheel.
