It’s okay to stare.
Spot has rethought the way a vertical slider-style dropout should come together (literally). Not only does it allow both belt-driven and chain-driven single-speed configurations, it also gives you the option to add a derailleur and “gear up.” The unique compact system also gives you the ability to remove and replace the rear wheel without having to adjust belt tension. Add a redesigned super-strong frame connection to the mix and the Spot rear dropout system is the strongest, safest, least fussy and most versatile you’ll find anywhere.

FEATURES
Gates Carbon Drive with CenterTrack: Unique super-strong, carbon reinforced polyurethane system that requires no lube and provides a nearly silent ride
Shimano Alfine 8-Speed or 11-Speed Internal Hub: Super-high quality with simple shifting and low maintenance
FRAME: Handmade in Golden, Colorado of True Temper OX Platinum. OX Platinum is a proprietary superthermophillic (heat-loving) alloy, developed in partnership with the U.S. Steel Alliance. The composition of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium with an unprecedented 217 ksi ultimate tensile strength makes this alloy actually gain strength through a metallurgical transformation in the heat-affected zone as a result of welding or brazing. OX Platinum is highly temper-resistant, resulting in an 11% increase in fatigue life and a 20% increase in impact strength over the competition. The increased mechanical properties of OX Platinum allow for incredibly strong, yet lightweight frame designs with that legendary feel of steel ride quality.
Urban/Zippy Geometry: Cruise with your head up and pass on the left
Fenders and Rack Mounts: Everything you need to make the urban experience as functional as enjoyable
Dropout Compatibility: Patent-pending Kobe Slider Dropouts allow belt-driven or chain-driven or geared configurations
