There’s nothing like a good bike for an affordable price. And that’s been State Bicycle Co’s jam from the get-go. For 2025, they’ve done it again by updating their award-winning 4130 All-Road bicycle. The new updates include some new colorways and the 4130 All-Road’s additional new features are plentiful.
State Bikes calls their All-Road bike a “premier entry-level gravel bike”. And with a price of $999, it’s a great value. Along with a dependable steel frame and fork, the 4130 All-Road is available in drop or flat bar flavors. These new bikes are peppered with upgrades that add performance and drop some weight.
So, What’s New?
For 2025 all of the 4130 All-Road bikes are now UDH compatible and dropper-ready with internal cable routing. The 4130 forks are now equipped with cargo mounts. Plus, the new 2025 All-Road frames have a third downtube bottle mount, as well as a top tube mount.
The standard steel frame and fork have tire clearance for 700c x 45mm tires, but the optional Carbon Monster Fork v2 (+$299) has clearance for tires up to 700 x 55mm wide. The stock 4130 All-Road wheels get upgraded to a 23mm internal width (700c), and 25mm internal width (650b). State Bikes has also upgraded to higher-quality spokes and upgraded hubs.
In addition, State Bicycle’s house-brand drivetrain has also been upgraded from 11-speed to 12-speed. Plus, the new 4130 All-Road now comes standard with cable-actuated hydraulic brakes. Cassette options for the new All-Road include 11-46, and 11-50.

First Impressions of the 4130 All-Road
I got my hands on one of these bikes earlier this week in the Raw Phosphate color. It’s a really nice-looking, and well-spec’d bike. After I built it up, I weighed it and it came out to a little over 28lbs, with my old Shimano 747 pedals installed. That’s not horrible, and it rides like a lighter bike.
I’ve put a few rides on it and it feels solid, shifts perfectly, and stops with authority. The geometry feels familiar and predictable. It seems like a perfect gravel/all-road bike for the beginner or an intermediate rider.
The house-brand components look clean and kick the 4130 All-Road’s aesthetics up a notch. It doesn’t look like a $1000 bicycle, it looks much more expensive.
The State branded Sensah drivetrain works flawlessly, and the 11-50 rear cog offers a nice range for all types of riding and terrain.
When I did my Masi Incanto dream build, I used a pair of 11-speed Sensah shift/brake levers. I’ve put over 1000 miles on those levers, and they never missed a shift. Not once. So, I will say that I have no reason to believe that the Sensah shift/brake levers on the new 4130 All-Road would be any different.
I’ve only had a few rides on it so far. But, I found the bars that came on the new All-Road to be very comfy. The flare was more than I’m used to, but otherwise felt great. I have yet to do any techy descending, but I’m confident that the bike will behave predictably.
The price for this entry-level to intermediate gravel bike seems to offer a ton of bang for your buck with these new upgrades. That being said, I will keep this bike on hand and get some more rides in… then let you know what I think. But, I have high hopes that it will prove itself to be a great bike for a great price. Stay tuned.
