First Look 👀 - State Bicycle Co. x Wu-Tang Clan 👐

State Bicycle Co. and the Wu-Tang Clan Bring The Ruckus

State Bicycle Co.’s affinity for Wu-Tang dates back nearly a decade, when State celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the album 36 Chambers with the Wu-Tang Brand. Now, the legendary Hip Hop group is at it again, collaborating with State Bicycle Co. for a complete line of bikes, apparel and accessories celebrating Wu-Tang’s legacy and lasting cultural impact.

State is excited to pay tribute to the legendary Wu-Tang Clan with three of their most popular models, as well as parts and softgoods to match. State’s 6061 Black Label, Core Line, and Klunker all get the Wu-Tang treatment for this collaboration. 

Parts and accessories including bar tape, saddles and a wheelset ensure that Wu-Tang flair can be added to any bike you please, or serve as collectable pieces for fans everywhere. State’s Sustainable Clothing Collection, with REPREVE® fabrics, also makes an appearance with tech-ts, jerseys, bibs and caps to show your love on or off the bike.
