The Eastside is built using 4130 chromoly steel for both the frame and the fork, which means this beauty is light and strong. We use only sealed bearing hubs in our wheels which gives the Eastside a smooth ride and is something you typically find in higher-end track and road bikes. The Eastside uses our go-anywhere Session 700 tires which were originally introduced by Fyxation in 2009 and are known around the world for their durability and longevity. Finally, all Fyxation bikes ship with front and rear brakes! While this may seem silly to point out, most fixies and single speeds on the market ship with only one brake which is both unsafe and forces you to spend extra money adding parts after your initial purchase.
