"With this Carbon Road, we're trying to blur the lines between 'entry level' and real performance. Phil joked that he thinks Tadej could win the Tour on this frame, and that's exactly the point. This bike wouldn't be out of place, built with SRAM Rival as a killer 'starter' carbon road bike, and then you look up, and you've got our sponsored guys building the same frameset with SRAM Red or Shimano Dura-Ace and going out there setting records."
"State Bikes focused on building the frameset with long-term ownership in mind, while still keeping it futureproof. They've incorporated a T47 threaded bottom bracket standard, with Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility. These choices make future maintenance and component upgrades more straightforward. They do this while maintaining their famous accessible pricing structure along with their standard support and warranty coverage."
State Bicycle Co. officially releases its new aero-road platform, featuring internal cable routing, compatibility with tires up to 32mm wide, and an aerodynamic shape designed for wind efficiency. The frameset incorporates modern standards including T47 threaded bottom bracket and Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility to facilitate future maintenance and component upgrades. Built with long-term ownership in mind, the frame maintains State's commitment to accessible pricing while delivering performance comparable to professional-grade bikes. The design philosophy aims to blur lines between entry-level and high-performance road bikes, allowing riders to build either budget-conscious or elite-level setups on the same frameset.
