About Unknown Bikes

The Story Behind Unknown Bikes

Unknown Bikes makes fixed gear and single speed bicycles for riders who want less between them and the road: one gear, a direct drivetrain and a clean, no-frills design.

Our Story

A fixed gear bike strips cycling back to its essentials. There is no gear shifting and, when you ride fixed, no coasting: the pedals turn whenever the rear wheel turns. That direct link is why fixed gear is still the standard on the track, and why so many riders choose it for the city.

Riding fixed sharpens your connection with the bike, the street and everything around you. You read the traffic further ahead, control your speed through the pedals and ride with more focus and flow. Fewer parts also means a bike that is simpler to look after and easier to make your own.

Unknown Bikes brings that idea together with a sharp, modern, minimalist look and components chosen for performance and durability.

Built to Ride

Every current Unknown complete bike comes with a flip-flop rear hub and an included single speed freewheel, so you can ride fixed or flip the wheel and ride single speed.

TFGS × Unknown Racing Team

Built for the Streets. Proven on the Track.

Fixed gear cycling was born on the track, and racing is still where a fixed gear bike faces its toughest test: one gear, no coasting and nowhere to hide.

The TFGS Unknown Racing Team rides Unknown bikes in fixed gear racing. Here, a team rider in TFGS and Unknown kit is at full effort on an Unknown track bike.

It is the same direct, responsive feel that every Unknown bike is designed around, whether you are lining up for a race or crossing the city.
