  • Overview
    • ICE Optimised Frame

      Overview

      The frame is the heart of any bike, dealing with the irregularities of the road surface, handling external forces and the pedalling forces exerted by the rider. A well designed and constructed frame is key to providing a great riding experience.

      The ICE optimised frame is constructed from a 4130 Chromoly heat treated main section with a 7005 T6 series heat treated aluminium boom and rear end. This provides a stiff platform for efficient power transfer whilst providing a comfortable ride which minimises rider fatigue on longer trips. The frame is fitted with cable guides and braze ons to ensure tidy cable routing and enable riders to attach racks and other accessories.

      At ICE we take great pride in the detail finish of our product, many items of the frame are CNC machined to reduce weight and deliver a product which is truly exceptional.

      In Cornwall, England, where we live and ride, the terrain is hilly. We have miles of quiet twisting lanes; consequently we have developed steering geometry that gives our bikes amazing handling at any speed. In these challenging conditions we also need to be able to climb with ease and stop without fuss so our bikes have an excellent gear range and come with Avid BB7 disc brakes as standard.

    • Rear Suspension

      Overview

      The ICE rear Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) system is the result of over 10 years of tireless development and testing. Providing up to 100mm (4 inches) of rear wheel travel, the suspension delivers comfort without compromising the accurate handling and control for which ICE products are famed. The system also minimises rear end squat during pedalling to ensure optimum power transfer.

      Adjustable

      At ICE we pride ourselves on making the bike suit the customer. Our Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) is no exception and can be adjusted to suit your individual requirements.

      Durable

      ICE bikes and trikes have toured the world, proving exceptionally reliable due to their engineering integrity and depth of quality. Our suspension upholds these values and requires virtually no maintenance, giving the famed ICE performance over many thousands of miles.

      Custom Designed Accessories

      We've also designed accessories specifically tailored to our suspension system, such as our custom designed suspension racks and mudguard systems, to ensure you're ready for your next adventure.

    • Rider Positioning System

      Overview

      At ICE we believe that good rides start with a bike which fits well. Our Rider Positioning System (R.P.S) covers a combination of features which we've developed to ensure the perfect rider fit.

      Adjustable Boom and Seat Angle Adjust

      This starts with our adjustable boom which allows the boom to be extended or retracted to fit your leg length. Riders can then adjust the seat angle to one of 5 positions giving 10 degrees of movement, and can be done at the road side in seconds if desired.

      Seat Types

      The B1 comes as standard with our tubular aluminium seat with mesh fabric cover giving excellent comfort and ventilation. The fabric is laced onto the aluminium seat frame with adjustable straps. The seat angle is quickly adjustable to 5 settings and can be done at the road side in seconds if desired.

      Short Arm Cranks

      For shorter riders we can supply an upgrade front chainset with 152mm cranks in place of the more standard 170mm. These cranks come with alloy CNC machined 22/32/44 tooth chain rings on a 64/104 - 4 arm spider. Short cranks give greatly improved comfort for shorter riders and are recommended for those under approximately 5'4". They are essential for riders under approximately 5'2" to give comfort and proper fit on the bike. Please see rider size page for more information.

      Adjustable Steering Stem

      ICE bikes come with a custom designed and highly adjustable light weight handle bar stem which can be set for height and stop angle. The stem tilts forward for easy access with an adjustable stop system and adjustable friction damping system to control pivot stiffness. Careful cable routing and pivot design allow the stem to be folded right down beside the front forks when the B1 is folded for transport.

      Two Handlebar Options

      Two types of handlebars are available for the B1 allowing customization to your preferred arm position.

      Straight Bars

      As standard the bikes come with straight bars giving a relaxed arm position and good knee and lower leg during tight during tight manoeuvres. These bars also result in a slightly more compact fold.

      Wrap Around Bars

      Wrap around bars give a straighter arm position and a performance look and feel, during exceptionally tight turning wrap around bars can sometimes restrict leg movement.

      Bars can initially be changed from one type to the other without changing cable lengths so experimentation to determine your personal preference only requires one extra set of bars. In most cases a test ride with us or at your dealer will quickly confirm your favourite setup.

      Anodised Parts

      Adjustable parts such as the boom and the seat back rest clamp are hard anodised, helping to prevent cosmetic wear under continuous use.

    • 30 Second fold

      Overview

      The ICE Compact Fold (C.F) is standard on all ICE bikes. The fold is based around a lightweight heat treated aluminium hinge on the main frame. This allows the rear of the bike to pivot so that the rear wheel fits snugly beside the front wheel. To fold, you simply release the seat by unscrewing the retention knobs and a quick release lever. From here it's just a quick release on the main frame and you're ready to go. Folding the bike is normally completed in well under 30 seconds. The fold has been designed to work with ICE accessories such as our racks and our Performance Tailbox.

      The bike can be made smaller still by removing the front wheel.

      Whether it's putting the bike in the back of the car to visit a local trail or loading it onto a small airplane for the tour of your life, the ICE compact fold provides the convenience and portability you need.

    • Riding Experience

      Overview

      The ICE B1 features 20” wheels and the ICE Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) to provide a controlled refined ride. The B1 also folds to aid transportation.

      The ICE B1

      We have gone to great lengths to make the B1 one of the easiest recumbent bikes to master in its class. Excellent adjustment in the seat, handlebar position and front boom allow the B1 to be set up just the way you like it, improving initial confidence. The seat is relatively low making it easy for the average rider to put both feet flat on the floor at a stop. Good heel to front wheel clearance allows tight turns and minimises foot to front wheel conflict.

      The B1 On the road

      The B1 has amazing handling, inspiring confidence at speed combined with low speed climbing stability. This is because it has been developed by prolonged testing in the Cornish lanes which are a notoriously harsh test of any bike. Cornish riding is also why the B1 has a fantastic gear range for steep climbs and high speed descents. Powerful disc brakes are fitted for consistent and confident braking in difficult situations. The overall impression is of a practical, go anywhere bike that makes you want to ride!
