We’ll studiously avoid using words like, “real,” “soulful,” or “pure” to describe singlespeeding, and we’ll especially avoid pretending that riding a singlespeed somehow makes the rider special. We will, however, recognize how these and related descriptions and stereotypes have emerged around and begun to define 1X1 bikes. We think it’s best described as focus-enabling simplicity.

Singlespeeds enable the rider to focus on the actual act of riding and to be as completely immersed in the experience of mountain biking as possible.
