Now Available in the UK: State Bicycle Co. Undefeated II Black Prism Review

Level 5 expert

Fixed-gear crit riders will love this bike… It is light, responsive, and in miserable weather when you still want to get out, a great alternative to train on… While it rides well as a stock bike, many who invest in it will want to upgrade some of the parts.

So the ride quality is pretty good. It’s better for smooth roads, it’s not that great for rough terrain, like if the streets have cracks or rough surfaces.

State Undefeated II Review: The Art of Affordable Speed

Level 1 expert

As a stock option, the matching full-carbon Essor USA fork further proves that the Undefeated II is ready to perform without the need for costly upgrades. Stiff, responsive and light… The impressive ride quality was the first noticeable characteristic…Specifically how smooth it rides over rough city roads… Pretty cool for under a thousand bones.
