Why choose the Alpha W9S?
Advantages
Stability in crosswinds and while overtaking
A long wheelbase, low center of gravity, and refined suspension geometry give the W9S unflappable poise when riding in blustery conditions or drafting other vehicles.
Ideal for smaller riders
Originally conceived as an even slimmer version of the W9 for smaller and therefore less powerful riders, it even offers space for riders up to 1.83 m tall.
Fully adjustable seating and controls for a perfect fit
You can adjust the seat, handlebar angle, and pedal spacing on the W9S to get the perfect fit. These tweaks help you ride more comfortably and use your power more efficiently.
Lightweight Champion
At just ~21 kilograms, the W9 offers exceptional maneuverability and efficiency without compromising on structural integrity or safety features.
All-Weather Performance
Closed wheel arches, integrated suspension, wide tire compatibility and the removable hood make the W9 suitable for year-round use in diverse weather conditions.
Advanced Safety Features
The core structure uses a high-strength, lightweight carbon-epoxy composite. This provides excellent stiffness, lightweight build, and vibration damping - crucial for stability and crash load resistance. Separate, redundant brakes (left/right) with ergonomic brake levers and a parking brake for better controlled braking.

Have questions about the Alpha W9S? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common things people ask before ordering this incredible speed machine:
How much faster is the W9S compared to other Alpha models?
The W9S has been optimized in every aspect for maximum performance. Depending on the course and conditions, riders can expect to gain several minutes over a 200km brevet compared to the standard W9. For ultimate speed, the W9S can't be beat.
Can I use the W9S for commuting and errands?
Of course! With optional luggage compartments, full lighting package, and a roomy cockpit you can easily carry everything you need for work or play. The aerodynamic design means you arrive fresher and require less energy than on a traditional bike.
I’m 1.81m (5’11”) tall. Will I fit comfortably in the W9S?
Yes, the Alpha W9S accommodates riders up to approximately 1.83m (6') tall. The seat and controls are fully adjustable for a perfect fit. At 1.81m you'll have ample legroom to stretch out and get aero.
I’m an experienced rider but new to velomobiles. Is the W9S a good choice?
Absolutely! The W9S inspires confidence with its stable, predictable handling and ergonomic cockpit that fits like a glove. The learning curve is surprisingly short. You'll be carving corners and flying down straights in no time.
What are the main differences between the W9 and W9S?
The W9S has a lower, sleeker front and rear profile for even better aerodynamics. It also has a lower seating position and more forward cranks to optimize the rider's power output. Think of it as the W9 dialed up to 11 for maximum velocity.
