//Neil C.I’m in the process of tricking-out my new Acme, but you all were very easy to work with, and MAN!, that Acme is one sexy bike! I’m extremely happy and proud that I can buy such a great bike locally.
//Rob MartinI received the Spot Acme three weeks ago and it was love at first sight. It arrives about 90% assembled, and for those of you who are not handy at all (like me), I found a YouTube video that walks you through the final assembly steps.
//Mathis M.Spot was extremly fast by responding all my questions in advance, shipping overseas went absolutely fast and easy. The bike is just awesome, I love it!
My first ride on the Spot Acme did not have me riding alongside traffic or waiting for red lights to turn. I wasn’t in a hurry, and I didn’t have a destination. I was simply cruising at a neighborhood pace, alone with my thoughts (how many years do I have left before my little boy values stupid talk with his buddies over quality time with his mom?). For this, the...
Part road bike, part mountain bike, and smooth-sailing all day long—the Spot Acme brings the best of each to your daily commute. An aluminum frame paired with a carbon fiber fork help make the Acme feel quick and lively, while its upright riding position allows you to slow down and enjoy the cruise. You’ll have more time to enjoy the ride too, because with a belt drive system there is...
Quick-handling like a road bike and confidence-inspiring like a mountain bike, the Spot Acme is a willing accomplice on any ride. It’s capable on a spin through the neighborhood or zipping along with traffic on your commute. Spot uses first-rate features and components from well-known brands throughout. Notably, the Gates belt drive gets paired with an 11-speed internally geared rear hub, which gives you an extremely quiet, smooth-running, and virtually...
Whether you’re an occasional cyclist looking for a stylish and low-maintenance ride for weekend adventures or an experienced rider seeking a speedy and clean commuting machine, the Acme offers best-in-class performance and reliability in one sexy package. Just get on and go.
It’s no secret that the hunched-over geometry of road bikes alienates some cyclists. We designed the Acme to hum along at road speeds while also allowing you to truly enjoy the long ride. It’s a Tesla on two wheels, with gently swooping curves that convey understated elegance.
At the heart of the Acme’s high performance is the most advanced, reliable—and clean--drivetrain on the market: a sealed 11 speed shifter mated to a smooth and strong Gates belt drive designed by Spot founder Wayne Lumpkin, one of the bike industry’s great innovators of the past two decades. Chains and derailleurs are great, but for people who don’t want to get their hands dirty, or who need a no-fuss all-weather commuter, they can be a greasy time suck.
The Acme is lighter and faster than most city bikes, and it features mounts for racks, fenders and a kickstand for optimal customization. Acme means “highest,” and this bike is the apex of modern urban riding: a finely tuned mix of precision engineering, style, innovation and speed. Rediscover the joy of cycling.
Next-generation Carbon Drive System. Unique, super-strong, carbon-reinforced polyurethane system that requires no lube and provides a nearly silent ride. CenterTrack is stronger, lighter, more compact, and better at shedding debris than the prior Gates systems.
Super-high quality with simple shifting and low maintenance providing a 409% gear range.
Automatically charges lights connected to the front hub via internal routing in carbon fork. Lights not included.
Proprietary, shaped, butted and tapered frame tubes designed for optimum strength, comfort, and durability. Lightweight aluminum tubing with precise tubing configurations for each frame size, results in a smooth and stable ride. Advanced performance styling of seat stays, top tube and down tube, in conjunction with finely tuned geometry deliver an astonishingly nimble ride in the urban environment.
Our newly designed all carbon fork rides smooth, yet is stronger and lighter that its predecessor. Steering is precise with the tapered carbon fiber steerer tube. Perhaps the highest performing street fork on the market.
Newly-designed frame and fork accommodate full fenders and racks, for urban versatility and utility.
We design and test our frames to the highest standards so you can be confident in your investment. Should you have an issue with your Spot frame, we will warranty it against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the frame. Of course there's some fine print (read here), but if you buy a bike and ride it as it is intended to be ridden, we've got your back. And if you do get into a fender-bender, we have a fantastic crash replacement program as well.
I’ve enjoyed everything about the Acme so far. I’m also happy with the customer service after my bike arrived with a missing bolt. They promptly emailed me back about a replacement that got mailed out right away.
This is my 2nd Acme. The first one was broken in an accident. Love it.
Smooth, fast, efficient ride. Love it!
I bought the Acme as a short-distance commuter to work, gym, shops and coffee. As an aging former road racer (with a bad back, too. ugh!), I also hope to use it for the occasional longer ride but have not gotten there yet. However, after more than a month of daily use I can say:
- ordering and assembly were as easy as pie. My interactions with the Spot staff were outstanding (Thanks to all the Spot folks!). It took next to no time to unpacking, assemble, and ride a well-tuned bike.
- bike looks amazing. Well done, Spot.
- the ride is great. My impression are that the seat and handles could be a bit nicer, but honestly they are more than sufficient and I'm planning to stick with them.
- the rear internal hub has taken a bit of getting used to. It wasn't/isn't exactly smooth, but it is more than serviceable. Gearing is low enough to get me up a long hill on the way home and high enough to push me down the hill in the a.m. [If I'm really pushing it, a higher gear or two would be helpful... but what is there is perfectly sufficient.]
- at first I was disappointed that it wasn't quite as fast as I had hoped. I had it in my head that the dynamo on the front wheel was slowing me down, but I think that's pretty much hogwash (unless perhaps one is trying to duke it up with the peloton, which I am not ... and I would not choose this bike to do that, anyway). I'm realizing with more time on the bike that is perfectly responsive and ready to leap. I shudder to admit that…
Bought this bike to use as a commuter to get to and from work. Super light and easy to carry up and down the stairs. Quick. Gates chain takes some getting used to but for getting from point A to B in a few minutes I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Definitely takes some leg power to go up hills. Would recommend having the lights built in as it’s an awesome feature.
