- We LOVE fast trikes and the ICE VTX is FAST. It's a sleek, solid build that also won Multi-Track class World HPV Championships in 2018. It is a racing machine that was shipped in from the UK and built up by Lewis right here at our shop in Payson, Utah. Hope you enjoy the build!

You know Lewis I didn’t even know you made a video about building my bike lol until today I was at work just searching you tube when I came across this I was like 🤯🤯🤯 lol thanks again guys
The former faces of Utah Trikes.
Ive been watching and making short documentaries and informational videos for about 10 Years. I also have been riding Catrike’s since 2014. It is so nice to see Utah Trikes starting to make videos again. It is a wonderful way to inform, educate and get the riders and potential riders better informed and interested in riding.
Wish I could spend the last few years of my video carrier just making trike videos. :)
Thank you UTs.
*Yes! Lots of fun.*
That’s my husband’s bike!! He loves it. ❤️❤️❤️
Really babe ???
But not as much as I love you 😘
Lucky man.
Dream ride. Good video production.
Hi!!! Vgood video, short, effective, as the VTX!
Thanks and Forza!
See you!
😉👍👌
Lewis&Kate - thank you for video!
Riding an Expedition and going to get a VTX too. Love the wrist pads on the Expedition. Can something similar be added to the VTX handlebars?
Beautiful trike, looks very expensive. Sweet ride
Esse modelo é muito top😉👍
The new VorTeX? 😎
In general, between catriuke, ice, greenspeed and azub, who makes the fastest trikes?
Great video. I am curious why you guys do not design and build your own Trike to sell. There is obvious a strong market out there for this......just curious.
Hello all. Former road rider. Now runner but miss group rides. Looking into trike life. Can anyone give thoughts. Ice vtx flat road, rider cat 2/3, would they be able to do a group ride in the 25ish range?
Thanks
Three brakes, two levers. I'm assuming the two front to one and the rear to the other right?
So... could you do a video on how to adjust the two brakes on one lever to get even braking?
There are 3 levers the two levers in the front do all of your braking and the rear brake in the back is a parking brake that’s controlled with a hidden 3rd lever
Does ice bend, cut ,shape and weld their frames in the U.K. or do they make it in China? I was hoping you would use the box as the frame jig just so we could see how it's done, I think it's an awesome idea for those who like to do their own assembly and maintenance
ICE frames are made in Taiwan. Maybe we'll do another video with a "box build."
Weight?
You guys need to find some kind of track to show these fast trikes in instead of the streets of town- I get nervous just watching you all ride them with cars all over (understand a lot of people still ride them on streets- I won't ride my GreenSpeed GTO on the street- cars just can't see me well enough to make that a safe option at all) and also-- maybe get some speed numbers and shots in- it's really difficult to tell how fast you're going in one of these compared to a road bike or even a mountain bike. I can regularly get my GreenSpeed up to 20 mph on flat surfaces at my local park where we have a bike-only lane on a 2.5 mile course- but I'd be curious how fast a bike your calling "basically a race car" is for $6k. I spent $400 on my used GreenSpeed and it's being upgraded- but it would be really, really helpful to know what upgrades are worth while to make these things as fast as they can be. I'm still not sure how they compare to a road bike- other then I keep getting past by them!
Can the VTX come with suspicion?
The VTX does not come with suspension, but the ICE Sprint X is pretty close.
Interesting to notice is that for even the lightest and fastest ICE trike like the VTX:
- the weight (14 kg ~ 30,9 lbs) is twice as much the weight of a fast racing bike (7 kg ~ 15,43 lbs or less)
- all the cables are installed outside the tubes, in any modern bicycle they are installed inside the frame (better looking, more secure, better airflow)
It's unlikely that we'll ever see a trike down in the sub-20lb range, at least not one that could support a wide range of riders. Trikes have an extra wheel, much larger seat, and more complicated steering mechanisms than any bike has. As for the cables, it can be done on a custom basis, but with most trikes being modular to fit a wide range of riders it's a lot more work to route cables and still have it adjustable.
@@UtahTrikesOnline Thx for your answer. 🙂👍 The Velomo trike is probably the lightest Hi-Speed-Trike 9,5 kg ~ 20,9 lbs, Hi-Trike GTI 10,8kg - 13kg ~ 23,81 lbs - 28,66 lbs www.velomo.eu/trikes
Perhaps with graphene manufacturers will find a way to make a strong and light frame.
Cables: perhaps one can find something ingenious. Or manufacturers could offer fixed frames with e.g movable seats.
If trikes are made in such a way that they must fit almost everyone and be adjustable (too much imho), they will always weigh too much.
Just my personal opinion. 😎
Gotta appreciate someone who knows their numbers good stuff man. The average guy is not going around racing so super light weight won’t matter to most. My bike makes me very happy
Also, and even more critically for a low trike, interior cable routing would preclude snagging them on or off road debris etc.
Zip-ties look temporary and cheap.
@@cleanseyourpalletllc8057 How much faster would this actually be real world vs a middle of the road priced road trike?
What was the out the door cost of this with upgrades?
That build was just about $5700 + Shipping.
My build cost me 6k all in
Where is the VTX vs Cat racing ?
It's in the works! We've got a lot of videos planned comparing different trike models.
Yes please. I've not come across any direct side-by-side comparos for these two models and I look forward to this!
How much is this trike 'VTX' as it sits ...Are they shipped assembled to the customer? ...
The VTX is priced at $5907 and we ship all trikes pre assembled. All you need to do is do some slight adjustments for yourself so it fits your correctly. You can get more info on the VTX on our website here: www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-11618521.html
It'll set me back 4G🙃
It set me back 6k for this but I love it
Brilliant engineering dosen't come cheap, if you want cheap buy KMX.
Interesting they went 11x3.
I would have did more but the price kept rising quickly
Kate is beautiful ❤️
Nice ride. Lose the rack and get a better set of pedals though. If I.C.E. wants it to be a race bike then make it one!
The rack is removable it’s good to have it and don’t need it then to need it and don’t have it. Also I did remove the stock pedals for clip in pedals
I imagine the ride is very uncomfortable with hardshell seat and no suspension
If your riding in city areas that’s very bumpy yes it can be but I ride my bike on the road as much as possible
I would not be bouncing back-and-forth in your view of whatever parts you’re focusing on and then bouncing back up to above the bike view. Let people get a chance have their eyes focus on what part you feature. Count 5 seconds.
Ha, that's what we tell Lewis. Gotta count to 5! That's why he doesn't get to use the cameras anymore.
All I heard was....
blah, blah....blahblah. Really Fast! blahblahblah
So, the important stuff I guess.
All that money spent on this bike and no respect gee thanks 😒
