Description

Design details

Fly through town
Want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible? A single-speed bike is made for you. At just 11.6 kg (25 lbs), this bike has the perfect light weight that you need to ride quickly through town. The streamlined design, stiff steel frame, and 44x18 development give it the responsiveness you need. It was developed with high-quality components for the best feeling as you ride.
An agile bike
With its steel fork, the single speed 500 perfectly absorbs impacts, easily tackling curbs and other obstacles to tame the city! Its 520 mm aluminum handlebars and 60 mm aluminum stem are assets to help you weave through town since they make your bike more responsive. Its 18T freewheel specific to FIXIE/BMX 30 steps (rather than 20 for a standard freewheel) provides better performance and balance.
Ride safely
While the speed 500 lets you ride fast, it also has excellent braking. calliper-type road brakes with cartridge pads for increased lever rigidity, better responsiveness, and effective braking. This bike has aluminum wheels with double-walled rims, and its tires (30 TPI weave) have nylon protection that makes them greatly resistant to punctures.
Want to switch to fixed-gear?
Please note, the bike is sold as a single speed. If you want to use it as a fixed-gear, it has a flip/flop compatible rear hub. To switch to fixed-gear mode, you need to buy the screw-on fixed cog (24 TPI threading, 1.37” diameter, standard) and the locknut (24 TPI, 1.29” diameter). Then turn the wheel. You can get these spare parts on our website or in stores at one of our workshops.
Choosing the right size
The bike’s size is a key feature. The frame is available in 4 sizes: Size S (1.50 m to 1.60 m) Size M (1.60 m to 1.70 m) Size L (1.70 m to 1.85 m) Size XL (1.85 m to 2 m) FYI: this bike has been designed to be agile and responsive. If you’re in between two sizes, choose the smaller size for greater responsiveness, and the larger for greater comfort.
