Landescape GRX Chain Tandem

“This Gravel Tandem or full out touring Tandem. SHIMANO GRX DIRECT DRIVE  chainset throughout kitted with SHIMANO GRX transmission with a wide cassette to help with the climbs. Combined with the hydraulic brake system from HOPE/MAGURA for superb braking confidence.”

Our Landescape aluminium Tandems are beautifully hand-made. If you think you know aluminium frames then think again!  Our high-quality Landescape Tandems are manufactured from tubing specifically made and drawn for Tandems. We use 7020T6 with a wall thickness of 1.8mm at the joints and butted to 1.4mm in the centre of the tubes.  The post-weld strength of 7020T6 is greater and therefore gives a stronger, lighter frame than less expensive frames made from cheaper materials and sourced from the Far East. The material we use, its butting and its lightness make for a stiffer frame with better power efficiency and handling but not at the expense of comfort.

With lightness and strength hand-in-hand, the standard offering of all our Tandems are custom size and built-in Direct Lateral Design you can be assured that we can build the tandem to suit your exact needs. From track to trail, on or off-road or just pootling along enjoying the countryside for a day or an extended tour, we have a Landescape Tandem for you.

 "We had 'The Tandem Experience', a really excellent introduction to riding a bicycle made for two. Very thorough training on technique for riding a tandem (hint: it's quite different to a normal bike), then a whole day hire of a touring tandem, with a very pleasant 25 mile circular route map supplied. Bike was very good quality, and training unhurried and well delivered. Highly recommended, if you're thinking of trying out a tandem!" James McRae, Local Guide - Google Review

What frame size do we need?

A common question and one that we do take seriously as it makes the difference when riding a Tandem safely and for long term enjoyment.

How do we work this out? 

All of our Landescape Tandems are built as a custom frame which simply means

  • Your sizes taken into account via our virtual data sizing forms or,
  • A visit to us at our store to be sized on our Calfee Sizer.
  • From this data we will draw your Tandem in our TandemCAD and supply this to you in a PDF format.
  • The TandemCAD is used in the production of your Landescape Tandem by our factory and by ourselves when assembling the Tandem.
  • We will take into account current riding styles and advise accordingly for Tandem riding.

We charge to produce a TandemCAD for you that is refundable once the Tandem is placed on order. Click below if you wish to go through this process.
