DESCRIPTION
The essence of Wabi. A TIG-welded Reynolds 725 steel track-style frame designed for single-speed and fixed-gear riding, paired with premium components and a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The Classic comes in at about 19 pounds and is built to order, tailored with your choice of handlebars, saddle, gearing, and more.
What's New. These latest builds now feature our Wabi Pro headset, made for us by FSA based on their premium Orbit-X design, as stock. In addition, our stock Wabi Lightweight wheels have been updated with a new, wider, taller, and lighter rim.
Lightweight by Design. Our Reynolds 725 chromoly frame features premium, heat-treated, double-butted tubing that delivers a smooth, responsive ride without the added weight typically associated with steel. Paired with Wabi’s proprietary lightweight wheelset and carefully chosen alloy components, the Classic stands out as one of the lightest all-steel builds you can get.
Balanced for Every Ride. Engineered for versatility. The geometry offers long-distance comfort with the agility and control needed for quick, confident handling through city streets and tight corners.
Precision in Every Component. Every Classic is equipped with proven parts from trusted names like Andel, Tektro, FSA, Tange, and Kenda. Each component is selected for durability and performance, never generic and always dependable.
Simplicity, Perfected. “Wabi” means simplicity. We stay true to that ideal through a clean, logo-free aesthetic that highlights pure form and thoughtful craftsmanship, right down to the smallest detail.
Built for You. Each bike is assembled from the frame up, with free options for bar style, saddle, and gearing. Choose from premium upgrades by Brooks, Sugino, SRAM, Phil Wood, Fizik, and more at special discounted pricing.
