I'm a daily city rider (5mi/day) on somewhat flat (300ft elevation gain), paved trails. This bike was an upgrade from my previous single speed. I wanted something a bit more aggressive. The Black Label nails it. It wants to go fast! And it's so smooth/stable that it inspires the confidence to rip. My average speed is 2mph faster and my heartrate while riding is 15% higher. It's a daily dopamine hit.

I rode a steel fixie for 20 years until the frame finally cracked. Decided to upgrade to this aluminum frame/carbon fork- and holy hell this bike is fast! Slightly slacker head angle than a true track bike is good for the road, and you can still get low and crank with the drop bars. Branding on the components is a bit much, but nothing some electrical tape can't handle. It actually makes the logo on the downtube pop more with everything else blacked out. Wish they made the deep dish wheels standard, but may upgrade later. Looking forward to another 20 years with this one.

I recently moved back to the city after a long absence. Having previously worked as a bike courier, riding exclusively fixed-gear track bikes, over 15 years ago, I was yearning to ditch my road bike and go back to my roots. I decided to check out a complete bike from State, as I wanted something new, but I wanted to get up and running as soon as possible and not have to spend time finding parts and building one from the ground up. When this arrived, I dropped it off at my local mechanic up the street who was able to get me up and running very quickly (note: this bike will NOT be ready out of the box to ride, if you don’t have the tools prepare to bring it to a shop). And this bike did exactly what I hoped it would do: made me love urban cycling again. The fit is good, the ride is smooth, and the bike is light and very responsive. I kept the front brake on, as it’s been years since I rode a fixie, but within a very short amount of time I felt at home, splitting lanes and keeping up with traffic. I love this bike.

The bike rides nicely but if you want a freewheel be sure to order it with one. Customer service is straight forward:" go to a bike store". So why order a bike when you have to go to a place that sells them? Just because the bike has a flip flop hub doesn't mean it comes with a freewheel. You have to read carefully to see what is or isn't included.

Just as the reviews that I read prior to deciding to purchase this bike said....it is honestly just as awesome as I had hoped and expected it would be. The bike feels extremely solid for how light it is and after putting a little over 100 miles on it since I received it last week, I have absolutely no complaints. 10/10

Absolutely great bike! I am using it here in Panama!

This bike has brought me such joy! Looks great and performs even better. Single speed takes all of the guesswork out of my rides, I’m either going to make it up that hill or I’m walking. Thank you State for making me a better man and a better cyclist!

The state logo on the down tube is really huge and to much for my liking. Otherwise, this bike is awesome and so fun to rip on!

A Legacy Redefined: Introducing the 6061 Black Label v3 Features:
Revolutionary Frame and Fork Geometry: Responding to the growing demand for versatility in urban cycling, the lightweight 6061 aluminum Black Label v3 with carbon fork now supports up to a 38c tire, opening up a world of possibilities for riders. Whether it's smooth tarmac, rugged city streets, or even a little tracklocross the v3 is ready to conquer it all. With a tapered head tube and featuring full carbon fork, the Black Label Series is a stiff and responsive ride.
Updated 6061 v3 Graphics: The aesthetic appeal of the Black Label series gets a fresh facelift with the updated 6061 v3 Graphics. Boldy designed, it now features paint-matched full-carbon fork, adding an touch of modernity to its appearance.
Optimized 48x17 Ratio: Keeping in mind the urban cyclist's need for the perfect balance between speed and control, the updated 48x17 ratio offers enhanced performance and efficiency on city roads with unlimited skid patches for those still riding brakeless.
Sleek Internal Cable Routing: Beyond the clean aesthetics, the internal cable routing offers improved aerodynamics and protection from the elements, ensuring a smooth and dependable ride every time.
CNC'd 144BCD Chainring and Crank: Precision-engineered with CNC technology, the new chainring and crank not only look stunning but also provide unrivaled strength and durability. At 144BCD allows for a wide variety of chainring option
New Wider Wheels: The Black Label v3 boasts an updated rim measuring at an impressive 19mm internal width laced to sealed-bearing hubs. This not only provides riders with more substantial clearance but also supports a broader range of tire sizes, accommodating up to the recommended maximum of 38c and even beyond. This enhancement grants cyclists unmatched flexibility with compatibility to the latest & greatest tires offerings from various manufacturers. These are paired with stock Vittoria 30c Tires, to deliver an optimal mix of comfort and speed, ensuring you enjoy every ride to the fullest.
Customizable Riding Experience: With the Black Label Series, we're handing control back to the riders. Choose between stylish, wide riser bars with Vans grips for a distinctive look and feel or the compact drop bars that promise comfort and swift transitions between hand positions, tailoring your bike to fit your style and needs.
The Best Value in Performance-Focused Urban Cycling: At a thoughtful $799.99, the 6061 Black Label v3 showcases State Bicycle Co.'s commitment to blending quality with affordability. Remarkably, it's priced similarly to its debut cost in 2014. When you factor in inflation, it's evident we're passionate about keeping cycling both attractive and accessible for everyone.
