I called it racy and am neither an employee nor a dealer.

I believe they refer to their overall line of tandem products as "performance tandems". The "Multi-Performance, Travel, & Racing tandems all share the same steering trail and similar frame geometry. They offer steel and aluminum frames in all configurations which is where the biggest differences come in to play: the Speedster and Big Al feel quite different as do the Supremo and Robusta.

But, yes, their longer steering trail is what differentiates them from all of the other tandem builders. As already noted, Cannondale comes the closest to Co-Motion with it's 2" of steering trail, and then Burley, Santana, and Trek come in a ~1.9". I don't know what fork rake KHS uses, but their head tube Geometry is fairly steep at 74 degrees. Assuming they use a fork with conventional rake I would presume their steering trail is no longer than Santana/Trek/Burley -- but that's a guess. Longbikes? Don't know, but would also assume it's more likely in the Santana/Trek/Burley range. Not really sure if Longbikes is even actively marketing tandems these days... Greg was underwhelmed by the market response after jumping in with both feet a few years back, about the same time as Meridian. Meridian has, from all indications, ceased to be a going concern.

Co-Motion's other selling features are the quality of their frames (welds/finish), a longer stoker compartment than Santana, Burley, Trek and the smaller Cannondale models, fantastic customer support and a transferrable frame warranty (not offered by anyone else), and so on.
