"The 4130 steel frame has modern geometry with a 65-degree head tube angle, 74.4-degree seat tube angle, internal dropper routing, UDH dropouts, and a threaded bottom bracket. It doesn't just look like a bike with a much higher price tag; it rides like a premium vessel. But at launch, the 4130 Trail came equipped with a groupset that was left a little bit to be desired in terms of shifting accuracy."
"At launch, the 4130 came with a 1×11 Speed MicroShift XLE drivetrain and an 11-46t cassette - not terrible, but not the most reliable option out there. Hell, I put a lot of miles on that drivetrain without much issue. But the small-range cassette and variable shifting reliability of the MicroShift derailleur were two things that I and other riders often looked to upgrade after a while."
The State Bicycle 4130 Trail pairs a double-butted 4130 chromoly steel frame with progressive trail geometry: a 65° head angle, 74.4° seat tube angle, low top tube, and long front-center. The frame features internal 31.6mm dropper routing, UDH dropouts, a threaded 73mm BSA bottom bracket, and triple downtube bottle mounts. The updated build replaces the original 1×11 MicroShift XLE with a Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed derailleur and shifter paired to an 11-50T cassette, improving gear range and shifting reliability while keeping the complete bike price at $1,499.99. Suspension is a RockShox Psylo Silver RC 130mm fork with Motion Control and Solo Air.
