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 bought the bike because I liked the look of the frame and was intrigued by the Shimano hub. For anyone not sure about the Alfine hub transmission, it's a great option to a derailleur set up. In my research I read that the hub tends to leak oil, which I found to be so minor that it's not a big deal. And the oil that does seep out over months is easily wiped up without much effort, so don't let that issue deter you. The biggest thing to know about the hub is that you can not shift gears with too much pressure on the pedals, in fact for shifting into an easier gear you really can't have any pressure on the pedals, or it won't go into gear. This really takes some getting used to and you loose a lot of momentum on a shift right were you don't want to loose any momentum. But I don't regret having the hub even with the shifting peculiarity. I'm 6'5 so I bought the 60cm size and it fits perfect. I added some Stamp pedals for good grip and bought a Lumos helmet with integrated lights to help cars see me. You may also notice that I changed the handle bar and stem to an FSA integrated carbon combo. That allowed me to run the cable in the stem and frame, but it was a lot of work and in hindsight not really worth it. The font hub dynamo is neat and I hooked up some LED lights to it that are hidden next to the brake levers and behind the seat clamp. And to celebrate the 2022 and 2023 Tour de France winning team, Jumbo Visma, I painted the front fork yellow. It now has the same…
Very nice bike, well made.
Appreciate no greasy chain, so easy to take places in my car.
Wish they offered a small frame version. I have made some slight adjustments to fit me better.
Not a hill climber, but could be my old body!
I have been having a lot of fun on my Acme. I’ve ridden on a variety of surfaces and terrains, and the bike has been able to handle all of it. I love how quiet it is, due to the belt instead of a chain, and the ability to shift while stopped is a cool and very useful feature.
