Some models simply do not fit into a category, and when that happens, we have to create one. While our Urban Alternative bikes could not be more different from one another, they do share a common soul; one that is comprised partly of simplicity, of purity, of belonging and of cycle culture. These are the machines devoted to the needs of riders often considered unusual, sometimes rebellious, occasionally bizarre, and those
who, from time to time, show symptoms having a cycling problem. One thing’s for sure; Urban Alternative bikes are always unconventional.

X-CITY

When it comes to all-purpose urban transportation, nothing else even comes close. Built from heat treated 6061 aluminum, the X-City’s chassis features aggressive MTB-inspired tubing while utilizing our latest strength-enhancing hydroform technology. The geometry is a touch relaxed yet plenty quick, making it posturefriendly while maintaining traffic-darting responsiveness. Built to adapt to any urban environment, fenders, carriers, bottles, even European-style self-attached bike locks are ready to mount in a snap. A bomb-proof Shimano 8-speed internal gear hub makes the X-city easy to shift, weather resistant and virtually maintenance free. Wide, swept back handlebars deliver extra steering control along with a remarkably natural, comfortable hand position. Wide, fast rolling 700 x 38c city tires will take on any hurdle the city streets can put in front of you. Whether you’re commuting to the office, zipping over to the coffee shop, or running an errand across town; no matter where your X-City takes you, it’s where you’ll want to be.
