Bottom line
The ‘State Bicycle Co. 6061 Black Label All Road’ is a lot of name for what aims to be a lot of bike, at a reasonable price. It's sold with wheels in 700c or 650b sizes… or you can order both, allowing you to switch between a larger-wheeled road-mode and a singletrack-capable off-road setup. In-house components keep the bike’s price affordable. For a number of testers, the bike's mechanical braking power was underwhelming. Handlebars are on the narrow side. More cargo and bottle mounts were desired. It’s a low-cost, fast, agile and good-looking gravel bike in two colors. It's suited to riders looking for a first gravel bike that will also cover road rides and commutes.Expert Reviews
