⚡ At a Glance
- • Ride Quality: Light frame and race-tested geometry give agile handling and brisk acceleration
- • Best for: Urban commuters and single-speed enthusiasts seeking simplicity and responsiveness
- • Not ideal for: Riders who need multiple gears for steep hills or long touring
Double-butted 6061 aluminium frame and fork combine lightness with strength. Alloy 43mm double-wall wheels, flip-flop rear hub and Kenda 700C x 25C tyres complete a track-inspired build.
Light, responsive ride – thanks to double-butted 6061 aluminium frame
Double-butted 6061 aluminium uses varied tube thickness to reduce weight while keeping strength where needed; hydro-formed down tube and hand-polished welds improve stiffness and finish. Tapered headtube geometry enhances front-end rigidity for stable steering.
A listed weight of about 9.45 kg (size M) makes accelerations feel snappy and keeps climbs manageable, useful for brisk commutes and short, spirited rides.
Versatile, low-maintenance drivetrain – with flip-flop rear hub
Flip-flop rear hub provides one threaded side for a freewheel and an opposite side for a fixed cog, so wheel flipping changes engagement quickly. Single-speed setup reduces moving parts and lowers routine servicing needs.
Switch between fixed-gear control and single-speed freewheel to suit traffic or training, while enjoying a simpler drivetrain that requires less maintenance than geared bikes.
Predictable stopping and smooth rolling – thanks to FabricBike x Promax brakes and sealed-bearing hubs
Matched FabricBike x Promax front and rear brakes provide mechanical stopping across varied conditions, while sealed-bearing hubs reduce contamination and friction for smoother rotation over time.
Confident braking and dependable hub performance give steady control in urban traffic, making everyday riding safer and less fuss to maintain.
