State Bicycle Co. just released a unique cargo cage, new cable-actuated hydraulic disc brake calipers, and budget flat-bar hydraulic brakes. Check them all out here…
State Bicycle Co. has been busy over the last few years. They released the sub-$1000 4130 All-Road, a wide range of State-branded components, bike bags, a carbon gravel bike, and several iterations of build options and frame colors. As of this week, they moved the ball forward yet again with a few new components that look promising for anyone building up a new bike on a budget. After all, that’s what State Bicycle Co is all about. Find them listed below with a few details on each…
State Bicycle Cargo Cage
$24.99 at StateBicycle.com
Crafted from aircraft grade 5250 Aluminum, the new State Bicycle Cargo Cage is compatible with three-pack fork or frame mounts and has a dot-dash-dot mounting pattern for fine tuning vertical placement. The State Cargo Cage is rated for up to 25 pounds and weighs just 168 grams. State also offers its own Voilé-esque grippy rubber straps for securing the cargo.
State All-Road Disc Calipers
$99.99/set at StateBicycle.com
Combining the ease of maintenance of mechanical disc brakes with the performance of hydraulic systems, the State All-Road Disc Calipers are cable-actuated hydraulic brakes made for the flat-mount standard. The calipers have a two-piston design and pair with 160mm and 140mm rotors. The best part is they only cost $99.99 for the set—front and rear—which is a fairly affordable way to update your current brake system on build your own gravel bike. State normally rebrands pre-existing components and while they look similar to Juin Techs, they aren’t an exact match.
State Flat Bar Hydraulic Brake

The State Flat Bar Hydraulic Brakes are exactly that–affordable brakes designed to improve stopping power on your favorite flat-bar rig. The brake sets include levers, hoses (pre-cut), hydraulic calipers, flat mount adapters and hardware.
