The State Bicycle 4130 All-Road is the bike I tell people to get when they tell me they’re curious about gravel or shopping for a gravel bike. And I’m not just blowing smoke when I suggest it. I’ve ridden the absolute bolts off of one, and although it’s a “budget” bike, it doesn’t feel like one, and I will always regret selling mine.
For 2026, the 4130 is getting even better, and it’s a hard one to ignore if you’re in the market for a capable, comfortable, and versatile gravel bike for some exploratory gravel miles, bikepacking adventures, or just commuting around town.

The 4130 All-Road has excellent geometry, comes with great entry-level components, and provides a platform for upgrades and magical amounts of tire clearance and durability for the long haul. I’ve done some stupid stuff on this bike. From 100-mile days on pavement and gnarly singletrack to downhill trails that most wouldn’t glance at on a full-suspension bike. For the price, it’s hard to beat what you get from the State Bicycle Co. 4130 All-Road, and with some really impressive updates, it just got even better.

Starting at $999, what you get is excellent, but State also lets you customize the bike before checkout with groupset and wheelset upgrades, and even a choice of steel, carbon, or suspension forks. It’s an absurd value proposition that’s honestly pretty damn hard to beat these days.
