ELITE-TANDEMS
Tandem
Santana uses only the finest tube sets for their handcrafted tandem frames. The "Spirit" uses seamless drawn, double-butted Spirit-Niobium tube sets with wall thicknesses of only 0.4 - 0.7 mm.
The Easton Scandium tube set used in the "Sovereign" saves another 400 grams. The approximately 15 kg light "Sovereign" is equipped like all Elite models with symmetrically spoked 32-hole wheels with Hadley hubs (Made in USA) and carbon fork.
Our Team Ti-700c is not only the most comfortable mass-produced tandem, but also the most durable and stable you can buy. Titanium combines the weight advantage of 7000 aluminum and the damping properties of Nivachrom/Niobium steel and is therefore noble, robust, easy to maintain and extremely durable.

Test ride
What to look for when buying a tandem? First of all, it is good to test a tandem. If you've never ridden a tandem before, you'll have a lot of fun on your first ride. Instead of renting a tandem or borrowing one from a friend, you should make an appointment to test ride it with us in our location in Rosenheim. Even if you have to plan a weekend for it, it is worth it. We want you to be properly introduced to riding techniques so that your first ride will be an unforgettable experience.
Frame size
Often tandem couples think they need a custom made frame because they are different sizes. However, Santana standard frames, exactly compensate for these size differences. Santana offers tandem sizes S, M and L as standard. If frame sizes, frame design or special features are not possible with a standard Santana frame, Santana is able to build a custom tandem for you.
Disassemblable tandems
For customers who like to take their tandem on vacation by car, train, bus or plane, Santana offers a perfect option with the disassemblable Z-couplings.
