//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.
Got this to ride around my neighborhood and get some extra cardio in. The Spot team was extremely helpful with the bike and test rides. Overall the bike is as excepted and top quality for the price. Everything is well sorted and always great to ride.
I had my first 2 Acme’s stolen. I wouldn’t have any other
bike. I am going to never let this one out of my sight.
Really pleased with the quality
The ACME is a very good, well built and solid bike for training, commuting, as well as a good 3 hour weekend ride. I am very glad I made this purchase, I should have done this sooner. Plus, the sales team at SPOT were very helpful in sizing and information. A must have! CB
Believe the great reviews of this bike--they're absolutely true. The Acme certainly lives up to its name, which means "the point at which someone or something is best, or perfect." From the first pedal stroke my Acme was love at first ride! I've ridden dozens of bikes through the years, from titanium road racers to steel touring bikes, to full suspension MTB's; on century rides with names like "brutal" and "assault", on twenty-four hour time trial races, and just touring the countryside; and I can honestly say the Acme is definitely now my favorite bike. Smooth and comfortable, it rides like it has suspension. No harshness on the bumpy stuff, or flexing on climbs. Cornering is sure and stable; climbing is quick and steady, without feeling draggy. The bike handles overall with confidence and quickness, but not twitchy by any means (I needed a shorter stem and replaced the stock one with a 50mm--no problem). The saddle is comfortable and the brakes strong and smooth. The grips aren't the best (an easy fix), but they weren't terrible either. I especially loved the performance and shifting of the Alfine internal gearing coupled with the Gates Carbon belt drive. What an improvement over standard derailleur systems! Why don't all bikes have this kind of drivetrain?? It's every bit as quiet as people say it is, and missed shifts, dropped chains, and fidgety drivetrain adjustments are a thing of the past.
In the case of many, of not most of the bikes I've bought in…
