FIXED GEAR& SINGLESPEEDOur core-line model is a bicycle you are proud to ride, at an affordable price – which is harder to �nd than it should be. Tons of colorways, the choice of up-to 5 handlebar styles, a solid 4130 CroMoly frame, �ip-�op hub, and 6 frame sizes have made the core-line a massive success over the �rst 5 years. The core-line series from State Bicycle Co. is leading the market in entry-to-mid-level priced single-speed/�xed gear bicycles, all across the globe.

THECONTENDER

PRESS KIT 2014

The State Bicycle Co. Contender is the "step-up" from our core line models. It features the same frame as our core line models – a 4130 chromoly steel frame – but is upgraded with a carbon �ber fork with aluminum steer tube, for decreased weight and improved handling. The crank has been upgraded as well, to a SRAM S100 track crank, with Truvativ Powerspline bottom bracket. The wheels of the Contender show off with a smooth, sealed bearing hub to maximize momentum and protection from dirt and grit. The frameset is tied together with a sealed bearing FSA MX Orbit headset for the best steering possible. The �nal upgrade on the Contender is the aerodynamic "race saddle" upgrade from the core model. One of the best selling State Bicycle Co. models in history, now available in 5 colorways.

6061BLACK LABEL

PRESS KIT 2014

The State Bicycle Co. 6061 Black Label bike features a lightweight 6061 double butted and tig-welded aluminum frame with an Essor USA full carbon �ber fork and steering tube. Like the Contender, all Black Label models come with a SRAM S100 Crankset and Truvativ Powerspline bottom bracket for more responsive pedaling. The wheels feature a sealed bearing hub with a �ip-�op hub in the rear for �xed or singlespeed riding. Lastly, each bike comes with an oversized 31.6mm seat post, 31.8mm stem, and our State Bicycle Co. Pista drop bars. The Black Label is currently available in 9 different colorways, including the special “Galaxy” version, which comes with anodized chainring, cranks, and hubs.

The Undefeated features a SRAM Omnium crankset with GXP bottom bracket. The wheels feature a sealed bearing hub with an ultra-lightweight alloy dish and 10mm track bolts.

CITY BIKESA harmonious melding of utility and old-world sophistication. The City Bike line mimics the classic, Euro-centric “Dutch Style” bicycle. Think front and rear fenders, a bell, mustache handlebars, front basket, and you’ve got the right idea. Whether you’re cruising around campus, commuting to work, or conquering the weekend, the beauty of a City Bike is in the A to B.

FIXED GEARFREESTYLEEasily our most versatile line of bikes yet. If it is dynamics and pulling off thrilling tricks you seek, look no further than the FGFS. The 100% proprietary geometry allows for 360° bar-spins and up to 50c tires. If you like it rough, these bikes were consciously designed to take a beating.
