« ALL BIKES Dualie
If you've never ridden a bike with a kick shift, don't feel out-of-the-loop, they're not exactly on every street corner. And if you've never ridden a 2-speed kick shift bike with a Gates CenterTrack belt drive on a gorgeous track frame – well that's because there isn't one – until now. The Dualie is eccentric in every sense of the word. It has the soul of a single-speed street bike slicing through town with the physicality of unparalleled technical innovation. Back pedal slightly to downshift, and do the same to upshift. It's as simple as it sounds. And with no gear cables or handlebar shifters, it looks simple too. Sorry to tease you, but you won't see one until May. Then let the superlatives begin.
Gates CenterTrack:

Next generation Carbon Drive System. Unique, super-strong, carbon-reinforced polyurethane system that requires no lube and provides a nearly silent ride. CenterTrack is stronger, lighter, more compact, and better at shedding debris than the prior Gates systems.

Spot Custom CroMo Frame and Fork:

Smooth ride of CroMo steel alloy, with Spot proprietary tubing butting profiles and shapes. Rear seat stay shape with slight radius for more compliance and stronger rear triangle. Brake bridge is drilled for rear brake. Rear brake cable guides are thoughtfully brazed in a lower position on the left side of the top tube, for no interference. Precise tig-welding is highlighted by clear-coat paint over treated steel. Straight-blade custom CroMo fork is designed to match the ride and finish of the frame.

Dropout Compatibility:

Patent-pending Kobe Slider Dropouts allow belt-driven or chain-driven configurations, and painless wheel removal with no need to re-tension the belt.

Track/Urban Geometry:

Perfect for slicing through town but with clearance for track use.

Hydration Friendly:

Water bottle mount on down tube.

Holy cow – one ride and sold. Smooth, sexy and FUN! You can’t get a better ride than this…wish I could have a quiver for all my friends it’s that nice.
