4130 Trail - Mountain Bike - Hammered Tobacco Powdercoat - SRAM Eagle AXS
A Powder Coat That Takes a Beating
Hammered Tobacco isn't paint. It's a textured powder coat — applied dry, then oven-cured into a shell that's thicker and far tougher than any liquid finish. The hammered texture earns its keep twice over: deep metallic flake that shifts warm and bronze in direct sun, and a broken-up surface that swallows the scuffs and trail rash that would show as bright scratches on a gloss frame. It's a finish designed to look better dirty — which is convenient, because this is a bike you're going to get dirty.
Underneath it, nothing left to knock out of adjustment. The 4130 Trail with SRAM Eagle Transmission bolts the derailleur straight through the frame — no hanger to bend, no limit screws to set, no cable to stretch. Wireless shifting that completes under full power, standing, mid-climb, and 520% of range from a 10–52t cassette. Double-butted 4130 chromoly, RockShox Psylo Silver RC with 35mm stanchions, and progressive trail geometry BIKE Magazine said “has no business being under $2,000.” Battery and charger included.

Tough as nails, now with no hanger and no cables. The State Bicycle Co. 4130 Trail with SRAM Eagle Transmission takes our no-BS steel trail machine and gives it the drivetrain that stopped being a wear item. Wireless shifting that completes under full power, a derailleur bolted straight to the frame, and 520% of range from a 10–52t cassette.

Why Transmission changes things
There's no derailleur hanger. A hanger is a deliberately soft piece of aluminum designed to bend before your frame does — good in a crash, bad every other day. Hangers bend a little every time the bike falls over, gets loaded in a truck, or catches a rock, and a hanger a degree out of true makes a perfectly good drivetrain shift badly.
The S1000 derailleur clamps directly around the rear axle through the frame's UDH dropout, referencing the frame itself instead of a sacrificial tab. Trail hits, transport, a bike that shifted in the back of the truck — none of it moves this out of alignment. And there's no hanger alignment to check, ever, because there's no hanger.
There are no limit screws. None. The mounting interface guarantees position, so setup is a short printed procedure you follow once using the marked Setup Cog on the cassette. No B-gap. No indexing to chase across a season.
It shifts under full power. The derailleur's firmware knows the physical geometry of the cassette — where every tooth sits and where in the chain's rotation each cog is ready to receive it — so it times the shift instead of just moving sideways and hoping. Standing, mid-climb, out of a corner: the shift you'd normally back off for is just a shift.
520% of range
The XS-1270 cassette runs 10–52t. That's 520% of range from a single ring — a top gear for fire roads and flat transfers, and a 52-tooth bailout that turns a steep, loose, technical climb from a hike-a-bike into a ride.
And it mounts to a standard HG freehub. Every other Eagle Transmission cassette requires an XD driver body, which usually means buying a driver — or a whole rear wheel — on top of the drivetrain. SRAM built the XS-1270 to fit the splined HG freehub that's been on mountain bikes for two decades. It's rated for aluminum and steel drivers, and approved for e-MTB duty.
Gears 8 through 12 also come off as a replaceable cluster rather than being pinned permanently into the stack — so when the climbing cogs wear out, you replace that section instead of the whole cassette.
Choose Your Fork
This is the biggest decision on the page, and it changes far more than weight. Going rigid doesn't just delete the squish — it turns the 4130 Trail into a different category of bike. Read the handling note below the cards before you pick.
RockShox Psylo Silver RC — 130mm
This is the trail bike. 130mm of travel, 35mm uppers, a Motion Control damper and a Solo Air spring — at this price you'd normally get spindly stanchions and a shrug of a damper. Keeps the slack 65° front end that lets you point it down steep, chunky, rooted ground and stay off the brakes. Pair it with Transmission and nothing on this bike is a wear item you have to think about.
- Travel: 130mm
- Axle-to-crown: 550mm
- Offset: 44mm
- Steerer: Tapered 1-1/8" to 1.5"
- Weight: 5 lb 12 oz
- Mounts: None
Carbon Rigid Fork
This is the one that transforms the bike. 563 grams takes more than four pounds off the front end — you feel it the instant you lift the front wheel, and on every climb after. Carbon damps the high-frequency buzz that makes rigid forks tiring on hardpack. Combined with the shorter axle-to-crown, it's the fastest, liveliest version of this bike: a genuine all-terrain machine for dirt roads, bikepacking, and big mixed-surface days.
- Axle-to-crown: 495mm
- Offset: 49mm
- Steerer: Tapered 1-1/8" to 1.5"
- Weight: 563g (1 lb 6 oz with axle)
- Mounts: 3 cargo per leg · rack (no fender mounts)
- Standard: ISO 4210-M passed
$100 less than suspension · 4 lb 6 oz lighter
4130 Chromoly Rigid Fork
This turns the Trail into a loaded ATB. Five cargo mounts per leg plus fender and rack mounts — more places to bolt gear than any fork we make. The shorter axle-to-crown drops the front end, so the bike sits lower and steers quicker: a dirt-road and bikepacking machine that still holds its own on singletrack. Steel takes abuse, shrugs off a scratch, costs the least to replace, and never needs a service.
- Axle-to-crown: 492mm
- Offset: 50mm
- Steerer: Straight 1-1/8" (30mm cone included)
- Weight: 4 lb 0 oz
- Mounts: 5 cargo per leg · fender · rack
- Rider limit: 120kg
$300 less than suspension · 1 lb 12 oz lighter
For riders who already have a fork they love, or who are building something specific. You get the complete Transmission bike, fully specced, minus the fork and headset crown race. Everything else is identical.
- Head tube: Tapered
- Front hub spacing: 15 x 110mm Boost
- Designed around: 550mm axle-to-crown
- Brakes: 180mm rotor — check your fork's mount
- Not included: Fork, thru-axle, crown race
$400 less than suspension
What you get is not a trail bike with the suspension taken off. It's a different bike: lighter, quicker-steering, and far more efficient everywhere that isn't a steep technical descent — dirt roads, doubletrack, bikepacking routes, hardpack singletrack, and the commute in between. That's an all-terrain bike, and it's exactly what these forks are for.
Pick suspension if you ride rough, steep, technical ground and want the slack 65° geometry the reviews above describe. Pick rigid if you want a fast, light, go-anywhere bike that you'll ride further than you meant to.
Both rigid forks ship with a 300mm uncut steerer and a 15 x 110mm thru-axle. The steel fork also includes the 30mm cone it needs to fit the tapered head tube, and a 180mm brake adaptor.
Quick Features
- SRAM Eagle Transmission, Wireless: S1000 T-Type derailleur, XS-1270 10–52t cassette, AXS Pod controller. Battery and charger included.
- Progressive Trail Geometry: A slack 65° head angle, low-slung top tube, and long front-center keep things stable when the trail gets rowdy while maintaining playful agility in the corners.

Pair the Seekrun with Transmission and there isn't a single shift or dropper cable on the bike. Nothing to route, nothing to trim, nothing to replace.
Choose Your Brakes
- 2-piston hydraulic with 180mm rotors front and rear
- Confidence-inspiring stopping power in all conditions
- Four pistons instead of two — more pad contact, more power, better modulation
- The upgrade that matters most on long, steep descents where 2-piston brakes start to fade
- Worth it if you ride chunky terrain or carry weight
Choose Your Handlebar
- 770mm wide, 35mm clamp — wide and stable for all-mountain control
- Paired with an SBC 3D-forged alloy stem, short and responsive
- UD carbon with a chatter-absorbing layup — the bar is where trail buzz reaches your hands
- Anti-fatigue geometry for long days
- The upgrade you feel on every ride, not just the rough ones
The AXS Pod
Shifting happens through a single handlebar-mounted pod rather than a cable-actuated trigger shifter. Two paddles, and you can reassign what each one does in the SRAM AXS app — upshift, downshift, or set it up however your thumbs prefer.
The app also shows battery level, pushes firmware updates, and handles service reminders. Pairing takes about a minute and doesn't require the app at all if you'd rather skip it.
Batteries
Battery and charger are included. The rechargeable AXS battery is the same one used across SRAM's entire wireless range, so a spare from another bike drops straight in. It swaps in about five seconds with no tools — worth carrying one on long days.
The Pod runs a separate coin cell that lasts years, not rides.
Standard Equipment
- Frame: Double-butted 4130 Chromoly steel, UDH, 73mm BSA threaded BB, internal dropper routing
- Fork: Your choice — see Choose Your Fork above
- Rear Derailleur: SRAM S1000 Eagle Transmission AXS, 12-speed, max 52T, hangerless Full Mount
- Cassette: SRAM XS-1270 Eagle Transmission, 10–52T, HG driver
- Chain: SRAM Eagle T-Type
- Controller: SRAM AXS Pod
- Battery & Charger: Included
- Crankset: SBC 32T narrow-wide, 165mm, direct mount
- Saddle: Trail-ready PU pad with steel rails
- Stem: SBC 3D-forged alloy, 35mm clamp
- Pedals: Not included
Max Tire Clearance
- Frame: 29" up to 2.6" / 27.5" up to 3.0"
- Suspension fork: 29" up to 2.6"
- Rigid steel fork: 29" up to 3.0"
- Rigid carbon fork: 29" up to 3.0"
The rigid forks clear more rubber than the frame does — on a matched pair of tires the frame's 2.6" rear is the limit for the whole bike.
⚠️ Assembly Required: This bike ships partially unassembled and will require crank installation, wheel installation, and fork setup (the steerer tube comes uncut). The Transmission derailleur mounts through the rear axle and follows SRAM's setup procedure — there are no limit screws or indexing to adjust, but the sequence needs to be followed exactly. We strongly recommend professional assembly to ensure the safest and highest quality ride experience.

FAQ
Rider-owned in Phoenix, AZ since 2009. 5-year frame warranty on steel, aluminum & titanium · most in-stock bikes ship in 1 business day · 4.8/5 from 16,000+ reviews.
How does my bike show up, and do I need a shop?
That depends on how you order it:
- With Pro-Build (select models: $79.99, or $129.99 on Carbon Road). Our mechanics in Phoenix face the frame, set up and bleed the hydraulic brakes, index the drivetrain, cut the steerer to our stock length and torque-check everything before it goes in the box. That's the shop work that usually runs $150–$300 locally. You bolt on the bars, seatpost, front wheel and pedals, set your hoods and wrap your tape: about 20–30 minutes with a hex set and a torque wrench. Pro-Build adds a 1–2 week build queue.
- Without Pro-Build. Your bike ships mostly assembled, but it needs a full assembly and tune by a professional mechanic before it's ride-ready. Carbon, titanium and AXS builds that skip Pro-Build arrive unassembled with an uncut steerer, so your shop can build them to your exact fit.
Either way, a professional build is safer, rides better, and unlocks our better warranty tier (see below).
What does the warranty cover?
Every State bike comes with our Standard Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects for the original owner. No registration required.
- Steel, aluminum & titanium frames and forks: 5 years
- Carbon frames and forks: 1 year (2 years with ProBuild Advantage)
- Non-consumable parts (cranks, wheels, hubs, bars, stem, seatpost, pedals): 1 year
Not covered: wear items (tires, tubes, chains, brake pads, grips, bar tape, saddles, spokes, paint), rust on RAW finishes, crash damage, and labor or shipping costs. Full warranty details
What is ProBuild Advantage, and how do I get it?
It's our "you did it right" warranty tier for bikes that were professionally assembled and registered within 30 days of delivery. You get everything in the Standard warranty, plus:
- 2 years on carbon frames and forks, instead of 1
- Priority claim review: ProBuild claims go to the front of the line
- Faster help with shifting or braking issues, without the "did you tighten that bolt?" back-and-forth
- Shipping perks on approved warranty replacement parts
- Discounted pricing on a replacement frame or bike for up to 5 years from delivery, if a crash wins
To activate it: add Pro-Build when you order, or have a local shop assemble your bike and keep the receipt. Then register your bike within 30 days of delivery with your serial number (engraved under the bottom bracket shell) and proof of assembly. If you ordered Pro-Build, our mechanics already did the build. You just register.
When will my bike ship?
Most in-stock bikes ship within 1 business day, and you'll get tracking as soon as yours is on its way. Adding Pro-Build puts your bike in our build queue for 1–2 weeks before it ships. Shipping is calculated at checkout from your location and the size of your order, and bikes go out by UPS or FedEx Ground.
Outside the U.S.? We ship worldwide, and duties and taxes are paid at checkout, so nothing is due on delivery. Shipping policy
What if it's not right? Returns & exchanges
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return or exchange. Bikes need to be unused, in like-new condition and in their original packaging.
- Refunds: a return label fee is deducted ($45 for complete bikes), and original shipping isn't refundable.
- Exchanges: issued as store credit. The return label fee applies here too.
- Package Protection Plan (add it at checkout): covers loss and damage in transit, removes return label fees and deductions, and extends the window for exchanges and store credit to 60 days. Refunds stay at 30 days.
Pro-Build and other service work can't be refunded once it's done. Final sale, clearance and limited-run items can't be returned, and neither can international orders.
Can I pay over time, or use HSA/FSA funds?
Yes. Financing with Bread Pay splits your bike into monthly payments, and you can pay it off early with no penalty (subject to credit approval). You may also be able to use pre-tax HSA/FSA dollars through Truemed. A short intake at checkout checks your eligibility, which depends on your plan. HSA/FSA guide
Which size do I need?
Geometry charts, size guides and full build specs for every model are on our Size Charts & Specs page. Between sizes, or running a tall stack or long stem? Get in touch before you order. Pro-Build cuts the steerer to our stock length, and that can't be undone.
Can I see one in person or get it built locally?
Use our dealer & shop locator to find a shop near you for a look in person, assembly or a tune-up.
Something arrived damaged or missing?
Email info@statebicycle.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the item, the box damage and the shipping label, and our team will take care of you. If a part has failed, submit a warranty claim. You can also reach us at 1-855-55-STATE or through our contact page.
