Takara Kabuto Single Speed Road Bike
The Takara Kabuto road bike is a single gear bike, designed for the simple commuter. It has been praised for its vibrant colors, smooth riding, and low cost point.
Front and rear alloy side pull brakes, rear flip flop hub.
As long as you’re not riding through hills and mountains, the single speed is sufficient for long distances. The brakes and slight added weight leaves room for improvement, but for the low price point, it is more than worth it.
The price is cheap and reasonable, and the only assembly required is the pedals, headset, front wheel, and nut and bolt tightening.
A little height is required to comfortably use this bike: some users report needing to be at least 5’7″ to ride comfortably.
