Critical Cycles Bike Parts & Accessories

Critical Cycles is a U.S.-based maker of city bikes and cruisers. All frames are hand-built, then assembled with components carefully selected for value and performance. The result: affordable, reliable transportation, available in a spectacular range of color schemes. Critical's bikes are available directly from the company in the continental U.S.

The bike lines include fixies, city bikes, and cruisers, all available in multiple configurations to fit riders of any size, riding habit, and style. Critical's mission, to get people off the couch and on the bike, is clear in every build, with comfortable seating, step-through frames, and reliable, simple componentry.

The fixies are offered in three configurations: a high-rise bar, a classic 'pista' drop, and a pursuit. Frame layout and size is identical, with slight changes to kit to reflect the purpose. Critical has found its artistic outlet with the BMX-bar model, offering a vivid blue/red/yellow and a pink/green. All the fixies are equipped with a flip-flop hub and a caliper brake for freewheeling.

The city bikes include single gear, derailleur, and internal 3-speed models, with traditional diamond, mixte, and step-through frames, caliper and coaster brakes. The Urban Coaster models are light minimalist builds, while the Citys are delightfully and thoroughly accessorized.

Beach cruisers from Critical all hew closely to the classic design, with swooping curves, coaster brakes, and apehanger handlebars. Variations are primarily in frame, traditional diamond or step-through, and single or three-speed.

Critical makes very reasonably priced bikes that are comfortable, accessible, and very rideable. Browse their catalogue online and find the right one for you.
