State Bicycle Co.’s Undefeated Goes Geared With Electronic-Powered Shifting
First off, chapeau to “Fixie Black” aka Josh Tyrrell for enduring what must have a cold shoot in wintery Vancouver for the video above. Now having ridden State Bicycle Co.’s fixed Undefeated last year for a feature in Cyclist, I was psyched to see the release of the Undefeated Road this week - their second geared bike and first performance road bike in the fleet. Handsome looking, for sure.
Comes with two build options or as a frameset and features 7005 Double-Butted Aluminum tubing, an oversized tapered head tube (like the fixed model) and a full carbon fork that come together to create a stiff, responsive, and fast ride (company’s words, not ours…).
SRAM Force AXS and SRAM Apex are both build options, the former with with 1x or 2x chainrings. As you’d expect, looks are on point from State. The Undefeated Road eschews dropped seat stays and aero tubing for a traditional diamond silhouette and is built on the legacy of State’s top-of-the-line Undefeated Track Bike. A strong option for crits, club runs and points in between. Gallery below.
