6061 Black Label v3
A Legacy Redefined | Performance Urban Cycling
“The Best Value in Performance-Focused Urban Cycling.”
Responding to the growing demand for versatility in urban cycling, the lightweight 6061 Black Label v3 has been redefined. With a revolutionary frame and full carbon fork geometry, it now supports up to a 38c tire, opening a world of possibilities from smooth tarmac to rugged city streets and even tracklocross. Priced remarkably at $849.99—$10 below its 2014 debut—it showcases State Bicycle Co.’s commitment to blending quality with affordability.
This Is The Tool For You If…
- You demand a stiff, responsive ride for aggressive city commuting.
- You want the option to run wider tires (up to 38c) for comfort or gravel.
- You appreciate premium touches like a full carbon fork and CNC’d crank.
- You value a bike that looks as fast as it rides with internal cable routing.
Revolutionary Versatility
Wider Wheels & Clearance
The v3 boasts updated rims with an impressive 19mm internal width laced to sealed-bearing hubs. This provides substantial clearance for up to 38c tires (and beyond), granting you unmatched flexibility. Whether you stick with the stock Vittoria 30c tires for speed or go wider for comfort, the v3 adapts to your ride.
Premium Aesthetics & Performance
CNC’d Power
Precision-engineered with CNC technology, the new 144BCD chainring and crank provide unrivaled strength and stunning looks. Paired with an optimized 48×17 gear ratio, it offers the perfect balance of speed and control for city roads, with unlimited skid patches for those riding brakeless.
