Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the 6KU Urban Track. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

  • The fast, aggressive stance of the bike attracted urban riders.
  • Most reviews complimented the lightweight aluminum frame. For this reason, some buyers even graduated from the 6KU steel fixie to this model.
  • 6KU’s track bike drew users with its aerodynamic look.
  • This bike was favored over others for its affordability.
  • One rider reported few problems after six months use.
  • Assembly was straight-forward for a large number of buyers.
  • Numerous reviewers deemed this to be a great beginner’s bike.

5 reasons not to buy

  • The color that was received, sometimes differed from what was ordered.
  • Drivetrain issues plagued a few users. In some instances, only weeks after their first ride.
  • There were occasional reports of missing parts, dents and scratches on new products.
  • It wasn’t unusual for longer-term users to mention that they had to perform numerous upgrades.
  • The componentry is not high-end, with the most common difficulties coming from crank and pedal issues.

Bottom line

6KU’s Aluminum Track bike was seen as a step up from their steel model. For a moderate increase in price, users got a significantly lighter bike with similar quality parts. It still comes in right at the bottom-end of the price range for a fixie / singlespeed. As can be expected, this means that the componentry may leave some unsatisfied after longer term use. For many riders who enjoy upgrading bikes – and for casual and occasional users, the 6KU was a source of satisfaction.
