Better known for their apparel lines and definitely much better known for the fashionable rims it makes, Vossen takes a daring step into the bicycle world. Enter the Vossen x State, a sleek and slender bike with plenty of style about it, albeit you don't want it in San Francisco.
Now, there's nothing wrong with Frisco, obviously, but one thing is a bit amiss with the Vossen x State: the fixed gear drive. This means you're either Chuck Norris or Lance Armstrong to pedal uphill several times a day aboard this bike.
The bike has "a flip/flop hub allowing you to ride “traditional” gear with coasting ability (optional hand breaks included) OR fixed gear," so things are not exactly made for brutal stuff.
However, if you're more into form than into function and are looking for a very sweet bicycle with a fairly decent price, the Vossen x State is the one for you. Made in high tensile steel, this ride weighs in at 26 lbs (11.77 kg), and that's great!
The deep profile wheels allow you to hit some curbs and potholes and still have a running bike.
Available in 4 sizes and 3 colors (Red and Black Camo, and Polar White), the Vossen x State is only available in a very limited edition: 50 units per color, $450 (€330) each.
Not exactly very functional or cheap, the Vossen x State is however, looking just as good as the young lady. Enjoy rewinding the video!
