I don't normally write reviews, but this bike has honestly impressed me enough that I wanted to. Before buying it, I looked at bikes from Trek, Specialized, Canyon, Giant, and a bunch of other brands. The more I compared specs and prices, the more I kept coming back to the State Carbon Road. Now that I've put some miles on it, I can confidently say I made the right choice. This bike punches WAY above its weight class.
The biggest thing that stood out to me on the first ride was how responsive the frame feels. When you put power into the pedals, the bike just goes. It feels really stiff without beating you up, and climbing or sprinting feels effortless because it transfers power so well. It's one of those bikes that makes you want to keep pushing because it feels fast and eager to accelerate.
I also went with the SRAM Rival AXS groupset, and I've become a huge fan. This was my first electronic drivetrain, and my first SRAM groupset, and I was surprised by how easy everything was to set up. Pairing the derailleurs took just a few minutes, and once everything was adjusted, the shifting has been flawless. Every shift is quick and precise, and I don't think I'd want to go back to mechanical after using AXS.
As much as I love how the bike rides, my favorite part is still how it looks. I bought the purple version with the exposed carbon weave, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, the photos on the website don't come close to showing how good it looks in person. In the sunlight, the weave pops through the paint, and the purple has a ton of depth to it. It's easily one of the best-looking bikes I've ever owned.
What really surprised me is just how much bike you get for the money. It feels like something that should cost a lot more. You're getting a quality carbon frame, modern geometry, and the option to build it with high-end components without paying the premium that comes with one of the big-name brands. I never felt like I was settling by choosing State—in fact, I feel like I got a better deal than I would have with a lot of the bigger companies.
After riding it, I honestly have zero regrets. It's fast, comfortable, responsive, and every time I take it out, it puts a smile on my face. If you're considering a carbon road bike and don't want to spend a fortune just for a famous logo on the frame, I'd definitely recommend giving the State Carbon Road a look. It's an incredible value, rides like a dream, and looks even better than it performs—which is saying something.
Carbon Road – Midnight - SRAM Rival AXS 2x
Full Carbon. Fully Wireless. Priced for the Real World.
The Carbon Road in Midnight isn't painted to hide what it is — it's finished to show it. A translucent coat reveals the carbon weave underneath, so the material is part of the aesthetic. Underneath that finish is a race-proven platform built around fully wireless SRAM Rival E1, DT Swiss A1800 wheels, and a semi-internal Zipp Service Course cockpit. Upgrade to ENVE AR40 carbon wheels or an integrated carbon cockpit and you have a race build that most brands would charge twice as much for.

The race bike. Without the race bike price.
The Carbon Road in Midnight is a translucent finish that reveals the underlying carbon weave — purposeful, not flashy. Underneath it is the same carbon platform currently being raced at a high level, paired with a fully wireless SRAM Rival E1 groupset and DT Swiss A1800 wheels as standard.
Choose your wheelset — then ride.
Platform Highlights
- Midnight Finish — Translucent paint that lets the carbon weave show through. Every frame looks slightly different.
- Tire Clearance up to 32mm — Fast-rolling and practical for mixed-surface days and real-world training.
- Fully Internal Cable Routing — Every cable disappears into the frame for a clean aesthetic and reduced drag.
- T47 Threaded Bottom Bracket — Greater stiffness than press-fit, better bearing longevity, and straightforward home maintenance.
- UDH-Compatible Derailleur Hanger — Future-proof and universally replaceable. No hunting for proprietary hangers.

The era of 175mm cranks and 46cm bars is over.
We worked with world-renowned bike fitters to spec each size the way a professional fitter actually would. Shorter cranks reduce hip impingement and improve power output. Narrower bars match real shoulder widths. The result is a cockpit and drivetrain that fits from the first ride — built into the bike, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Assembly ⚠️
⚠️ Professional Assembly Strongly Recommended
This bike ships unassembled to ensure the fastest possible turnaround time. Assembly will require crank installation, wheel installation, cockpit/fork setup, internal cable routing adjustments, derailleur indexing, brake setup, and general tuning.
Please note: the carbon fork steerer tube ships uncut and must be cut during assembly. Carbon steer tubes do not grow back — once cut, they cannot be lengthened. Because of the fully integrated internal routing and performance-focused design of these bikes, professional assembly by an experienced bicycle mechanic is strongly recommended.
We highly encourage establishing a relationship with a trusted local bike shop for assembly, fitment, and future maintenance. Improper assembly or steerer tube cutting may result in damage, unsafe riding conditions, or voided warranty coverage.
All Carbon bikes are shipped from Phoenix, Arizona. 🌵 Please allow 2-3 business days for processing.
