The 2009 Precision Tri-Cycle arrived on the cruiser scene as a distinctive offering, carving its own niche within a competitive segment. While Precision may not boast the extensive cruiser lineage of some manufacturers, the Tri-Cycle represented a focused effort to provide a unique three-wheeled riding experience. In its category, it faced direct competition from established players like the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic and the Can-Am Spyder RT, each offering their own interpretation of the multi-wheeled touring concept.
At the heart of the 2009 Tri-Cycle was its substantial engine, displacing 1573.25 ccm, which translates to a robust 96.00 cubic inches. This generous displacement provided the necessary torque and power for comfortable cruising, whether navigating scenic routes or covering long distances. Cruisers in this class rely on a strong, consistent power delivery, and the Tri-Cycle's engine was engineered to deliver a satisfying, low-end pull synonymous with the cruiser experience. The power characteristics were geared towards smooth acceleration rather than outright speed, fitting the machine's intended purpose.
Riding the Tri-Cycle offered a distinct feel, characterized by its low-slung stance and stable three-wheel configuration. This design inherently provided a different kind of confidence compared to a two-wheeled cruiser, particularly at lower speeds or when stopped. Comfort was a key consideration, with a plush seating position designed for extended hours in the saddle. The wider footprint contributed to a relaxed riding posture, minimizing rider fatigue on longer journeys, a common attribute sought after in the cruiser segment.
The 2009 Precision Tri-Cycle was primarily aimed at riders seeking the classic cruiser aesthetic and comfort, but with the added stability and unique presence of a three-wheeler. It appealed to those who appreciated the V-twin rumble and laid-back cruising style but perhaps desired a different dynamic than a traditional two-wheeled motorcycle. Its blend of cruiser characteristics with the three-wheel platform positioned it as an interesting option for a specific segment of the touring and leisure riding community.
