TWO WAYS TO RIDE

Fixed or Free: You Decide
The heart of the Core-Line is its versatility, all thanks to the flip-flop hub. Want to feel every nuance of the road? Ride it fixed. Sense the unbroken chain of motion as your legs become one with the machine, a rhythmic pulse connecting you to the pavement.
Prefer a more relaxed journey? Simply flip the wheel and enjoy the carefree glide of a classic single-speed. It represents the pinnacle of maintenance-free performance wrapped in an elegant package. No derailleurs to bend, no shifter cables to stretch. It is the ultimate expression of agentic cycling.

WHY THIS BUILD MATTERS
The Core Line is meticulously engineered for the realities of urban commuting. Here is the technical breakdown of why this bike dominates the city streets.
The Perfect Urban Ratio
Unlike track bikes geared for high-end top speeds, the Core Line uses a perfectly dialed 44x16 gear ratio. This specific ratio provides explosive acceleration off the line at stoplights and makes climbing city bridges significantly more manageable.
Steel Resilience
Aluminum frames are rigid and transfer every bump directly to your spine. The Core Line utilizes a Steel chassis that acts as a natural micro-suspension system, effectively muting road chatter and reducing rider fatigue over long commutes.
40mm Deep-V Aerodynamics
The signature 40mm deep-dish rims aren't just for classic aesthetic appeal. The deeper profile drastically increases the structural integrity and lateral stiffness of the wheel, ensuring it stays true even after slamming into unexpected potholes.
