A few months ago, State Bike Co sent me their new 4130 Trail: a steel framed hardtail with modern geometry. On paper this thing looked like an amazing deal with the complete bike coming in at $1500 and the frame only option at $495. In this video I go over the geometry and components specs, talk about the strengths and weaknesses and finally tell you who this bike is for. 4130 Trail Hardtail - https://alnk.to/ei3JFwk Want To Support Me And Look Cool Doing It?
