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.
