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.
Sleek design for a 29er bicycle. Smooth and easy to ride.
Took it on a road/gravel trail on a ride from Boston to Newton. Fast and responsive. Pedals were annoying with baskets and grips not the best but that’s all rakishly swapped. Quality bike and parts. Super easy to carry upstairs.
Title pretty much says it all. The light frame, combined with the .527 internal ratio of the Alfine's granny gear, combined with the 46t front pulley and 24t (I think?) rear cog make climbing hills a breeze. The belt and internal gearing mean I don't have to worry as much about the corrosive effects of Puget Sound and the famously gloomy weather.
Great job everyone at Spot. I'm probably going to become a repeat customer once I'm better at mountain biking.
I’m very pleased with my new Acme. I wanted a different style of bike to help transition from high end road bikes I’ve ridden for forty years. Lots of possibilities for using this bike from touring to fast recreational riding to store runs!
Set was easy after arrival!
