The Single Speed / Fixed Gear
by Solé Bicycles
"The Original. The Icon. The Ultimate City Commuter."
This is the bike that started it all. The Solé Single Speed / Fixed Gear is the epitome of minimalist design and urban efficiency. Engineered for the city rider who values simplicity, style, and a true connection to the road, this bike is a lightweight, nimble, and incredibly fun machine. At its heart is a durable high-tensile steel frame and our signature flip-flop hub, which gives you the freedom to choose your riding style.
Keep it simple and cruise with a standard single-speed freewheel, or flip the rear wheel to engage the fixed gear for that ultimate, connected feel. Weighing in at just 26 lbs, this bike is agile, quick, and easy to carry up apartment stairs. It’s more than a mode of transport; it’s a statement.
This Is The Tool For You If...
- You are a city commuter looking for a fast, agile, and lightweight bike.
- You appreciate minimalist design and the simplicity of a single-speed bicycle.
- You want the versatility to switch between a freewheel and a fixed gear.
- You need a durable, reliable, and low-maintenance bike for daily urban riding.
- You believe your bike should be a stylish extension of your personal aesthetic.

Your Ride, Your Choice: The Flip-Flop Hub

Two Bikes in One
The genius of this bike lies in its versatility, all thanks to the flip-flop hub on the rear wheel. Out of the box, it’s set up as a standard single-speed, allowing you to coast freely just like any other bike. It’s simple, intuitive, and perfect for casual cruising. But if you’re looking for a more connected, engaging ride, simply remove the rear wheel, flip it around, and re-install it to engage the fixed gear. This locks your pedals to the motion of the wheel, providing instant feedback and a true feeling of being one with the bike. It’s the ultimate two-in-one for the discerning urban rider.

At just 26 lbs, it’s an incredibly lightweight and agile machine, perfect for zipping through traffic and carrying up to your apartment.
