The brakes are not amazing and my fork came bent making it hard to take the front wheel on and off. However, for the price the bike is great and I cannot wait to take it on many bikepacking adventures!

I’ve been away from biking for a couple of years now, I guess sometimes life just gets in the way. All the while, I had family and friends persuading me get back on the bike, so I causally started looking for some gravel options. After checking a couple reviews I decided to check out State, and have been blown away ever since. Their sales and service team answered all my questions, and I decided to pull the trigger. I received my order in a matter of days and after having their recommended bike shop complete the professional assembly, I was back in the saddle. First, I was totally stoked at the looks of this bike. The olive matte with black contrast is just cool A.F. (already received several compliments). And the feel of this bike is amazing. I’m used to MTB setups, but even with the 700cc wheel set this thing feels just as solid and stable as anything else I’ve ridden before, but much much whippier and responsive. I’ve only got a few rides under my belt, but thing has relit a fire that I’ve been missing.

I mentioned their sales and service team earlier, even after my initial purchase they’ve been top notch. I ordered the extra 650b wheel set, but noticed they inadvertently sent another set of 700cc. No problem, I contacted them and within the hour I had a return label and the correct set was already on its way. Hats off to you SBC, you have a huge fan here!

With any new bike the first thing I start with is to remove all the bolts, and re-set them using a bit of grease and a true torque limiter wrench.
Also, I had a wider bar that I wanted to use instead of the stock bar.
But the right brake lever had been installed on the bar at the factory with waaay too much force, and was for all purposes welded in place. All the tricks to remove the bolt once the hex was stripped came to no use.
I emailed State with the problem, including photos. And did they come through fast! Thanks, State!
I had a replacement brake lever only a few days later and now I'm happily getting around on this bike.
What is it for? This is #4 in my fleet, which includes a bikepacking bike, a road race bike, and a gravel race bike. This State 4130 flat bar I've been riding more than any other - great for commuting, especially in fall wet weather and slimy leaves. For a short gravel ride (I'm only 1 mile from a venue with a lot of dirt trails) it is a hoot. And with racks, and flip-flop pedals, I can jump on it with any sort of clothing and make a dash down to the grocery store. Or the bakery. Or the coffee shop.
It isn't in the same high performance league as my other bikes, but for a giggle fest just getting out the door it is ideal.

Love this bike. Handles well on road and dirt. I put ergonomic grips and bull horn bar ends and a longer stem on it and now it rides and feels great.
I’m 6’ and bought the recommended size. East assembly. Will be great for mixed gravel rides and bikepacking.

I absolutely love this bike. I got the 4130 all-road flat bar in a size large (6’1”-6’5”) I’m 5’11” 250 pounds so I went with a size up as I like my bike larger. So far I’ve ridden on the road, gravel, dirt roads, and mountain biking trails that had an elevation gain of 550 feet. I have to say I am so stoked with this bike, it has conquered every terrain I have thrown at it so far. I did upgrade to the state bike all-terrain front fork, and that is what makes mountain biking easier as the fork helps conquer the trough terrain to face. As for trails and gravel, this bike is a beast and dominates. The bike also rides extremely comfortably on the road, even with the 650b tires I chose. I watched a lot of YouTube videos on this bike and people complained it’s too heavy, it’s not… they also said with the hearing you can’t conquer steep elevation or using it for mountain biking, I found that to be false also. Honestly, this is my first bike that isn’t a BMX bike or Harley Davidson, and I find this to be the perfect all purpose bike. If you are doubting yourself, don’t, this bike is worth every penny and you’ll be above satisfied! I have about 10 miles riding mountain and 50 miles of road/trail riding on the bike so far.

Had some issues with the initial delivery, but Chris was quick to get everything resolved. Still finishing up the build, but gf is super happy. By far the best deal in gravel if you're looking for steel. Size XS 43cm, 650b.

Love this bike! Rides smooth. Can handle a ton of different terrain. Super fun and comfortable. Love the color I purchased too.

This is a wonderful bike for the cost. Well made, rides super smooth, and looks sharp to boot! Highly recommended for anyone looking to buy a good city/gravel bike without spending $1,000+.

4130 All-Road - Flat Bar - Matte Olive (650b / 700c)

Love my new bike, when looking for a bike and test riding I was told that it had to feel perfect if I wanted to be motivated to ride consistently. And since I got the bike I’ve been riding every weekend. I might upgrade the saddle but I’m told by other experienced riders that I’ll get used to it. Five stars!
