BIKE OF THE WEEK: STATE BICYCLE’S 6061 BLACK LABEL ALL ROAD

The 6061 Black-Label All Road combines all the best of State’s prior Black Label and All Road bikes. Starring a lightweight shaped 6061 alloy frameset and matching carbon fork, the complete is equipped with house-brand components to maximize both performance and value.

Frame:

State built the Black Label All-Road frame from 6061 aluminum for maximum performance, allowing the rider to get the most out of every pedal stroke. Aluminum is known for being both light and incredibly responsive to the rider, making it the ideal frame for covering ground quickly over any road surface. The bike’s geometry is tailored to be comfortable for long days in the saddle on and off the road. The frame uses thru-axles with 100/142 spacing, along with massive tire clearance (700×45 or 650×50) this gives the bike compatibility with a myriad of wheelset options/sizes. Two bottle mounts and fender mounts make it a long ride champ in all conditions, while internal main triangle cable routing keeps it looking clean.

Wheels and Tires:

The 6061 Black Label All-Road comes standard with a rider’s choice of tubeless-compatible 700c wheels with 38mm tires OR 650b with 47mm/1.9” tires.

BUT WHY PICK…when you can get both!? State Bicycle Co. has always had the motto Rider-First. To them, it means allowing each rider to select a bike that is perfect for their riding needs. When a rider orders their 6061 All-Road bike, they are able to choose 700c or 650b (at no cost difference) or get both for an extra $349.99. State makes it easy to go back and forth between each wheelset. Riders ordering both get a 2nd set of fully-loaded wheels including wheels, rotors, cassettes, tires and tubes. With both wheels included, State is nearly offering 2-bikes-in-1. Commute to work with the 700c wheelset Monday-Friday, and rip the trails on your 650b wheels on the weekends!
