State Bicycle Co., known for their stylish and high-quality bikes, has teamed up with the iconic hip-hop duo Run The Jewels for a bold and exciting new collaboration that’s set to make waves both on and off the bike path. If you’ve ever thought the worlds of cycling and hip-hop were two separate universes, think again.

The partnership, which officially drops on Black Friday (Nov. 29), brings together the rugged, rider-first mentality of State Bicycle Co. with the unmistakable energy and artistry of Run The Jewels, creating a collection that’s as much about style as it is about performance. Whether you’re a cyclist, a music lover, or just someone who enjoys eye-catching gear, the limited-edition release is one you won’t want to miss.

Last spring, State also dropped a sweet Bob Marley collab.

The SBC x RTJ Klunker: A Ride Like No Other

At the heart of the collaboration is the SBC x RTJ Klunker, a bike that’s ready to take on the streets and the trails with equal ease. The Klunker is a nod to the original mountain bikes, with a rugged frame and chunky tires that make it versatile enough for just about any terrain. But what sets this one apart are the details. The Klunker features gold 144-spoke wheels, custom RTJ graphics, and a sleek design that channels the bold aesthetic of Run The Jewels’ album art.

This is a bike built to turn heads — whether you’re pedaling through the city or tearing up a dirt trail. The price tag? $499, which feels like a steal when you consider the level of customization and attention to detail on offer. It’s more than just a bike; it’s a statement piece that fuses music culture with cycling.

The Spirit of the Collaboration

State Bicycle Co. has always been about more than just bikes. The brand’s mission is to build a community of riders who appreciate adventure, creativity, and the joy of being on two wheels. The collaboration with Run The Jewels takes that ethos to a new level, blending the worlds of music, culture, and cycling into one powerful release.

“The collaboration with Run The Jewels represents the perfect intersection of music, culture, and cycling,” said State Bicycle Co. co-founder Mehdi Farsi. “We’ve always strived to push boundaries with our designs, and working with Killer Mike and El-P takes that to the next level. Their creativity and dedication to their craft aligns perfectly with the ethos of State Bicycle Co.”

So, whether you’re looking to add some custom flair to your ride, or you’re a fan of Run The Jewels who also loves to pedal, this collaboration offers something unique. It’s a celebration of two cultures that don’t just coexist, but thrive when they come together — music, style, and cycling, all in one wild, expressive package.
