This is my second Undefeated from SBC and even as the inflation of bicycle components continues to rise, State still manages to offer an enormous value for your dollar. My first Undefeated was from 2017 and had some big-name and legit components from SRAM, Ritchey USA and FSA; back then it was insane to find all that value for less than 1500. Fast forward a few years and most of the components bear no name but State somehow managed to find a great compromise to still deliver a no-nonsense race-ready bike, if that's your thing. As they say the frame is the heart of the bicycle anyway and this one is no exception to State's history of offering riders the best value per dollar in fixed/single gear. I actually sized up on the frame from 52 to 55 after noting that the 52 was suited for short crits but not a good all-rounder at my height for my varied rides, so I can't comment on the new Y9 over the 7075 aluminum from my previous frame in regards of weight. I will say that it is plenty light at about 16.6 lbs fully kitted up. I think sizing up was the best decision as the extra stack height creates a more natural pedal stroke, little to no lower back pain and I can stay in the saddle for longer before feeling tapped out. I opted for the stock Essor Aerodash and it's responsive, plenty stiff for quick takeoffs and smooth sprints, just plain buttery. I put 7500km on my first Undefeated so I'm familiar with the snappy, light Essor Bolt v2 wheelset-they are a zippy, stiff and strong aluminum wheelset that I would recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade a current State or other bike. My favorite part of this bike is the full carbon fork from Essor USA, which helps absorb excess front-end vibrations and is insanely strong- I can corner with ease. There is a slight rubbing sound in the headset, I'm gonna attribute that to the new fit and hope it dissipates after several break-in rides. I have somewhat long arms so I will likely have to change to a longer stem but I didn't notice any outstanding discomfort on my rides. I originally sent for a pearl/tie-dye but the stealthy, non-garish Graphite/Prism is starting to grow on me and it makes for more opportunities to add color pops with bar tape if needed. I love the head turns when the light catches the prism decals, it's a nice, subtle flash that also helps strengthen the pro look of the kit. Since I saved so much money on an already killer set up I will be upgrading some parts soon to dial in my comfort a bit more. Thanks again State for making affordable but QUALITY bicycles!

My bike came with 4 deep scratches. And the lock ring was extremely loose.

I just want to say that the undefeated is an amazing spec for the price, right out of the box. The crankset is really nice and feels good on the street. I replaced the Maxis tires with some continental and the saddle. Love this ride.

Haven’t had a track bike in some time but can still tell how much value there is in this bike for the money. Lightweight, nimble and top quality. If you’re in the market for something in this price range, look no further. Rides like an absolute dream.

My first fixie and first new bike in a number of years. Rides great and has a light and responsive ride. Also has a “sturdy” feel for such a nimble bike..:: putting the miles on rapidly and highly recommend it

Such a lightweight rock solid stiff bike. Worth every penny.

nice bike with good parts
