By now the mountain bike world is divided into two camps: Those who own a single-speed, and those who would like to someday. Like its similarly outfitted Bianchi predecessors, the M.U.S.S. makes it easy to make yourself a single-speed convert. With its steel frame and fork, lone 32x16 gear, and all-around tires, the M.U.S.S. won’t mind if you ride it everywhere—in town and on the trail. It will also remind you how much fun it is just to pedal a bike and be free of having to take every bit of shifting technology so seriously. Consider the M.U.S.S. your invitation. You’re welcome.
Highlights: Bianchi double-butted chrome-moly frame (available in five sizes). Avid mechanical disc brakes. Truvativ Firex SS crank with rock guard. WTB SpeedDisc wheels and All Terrainasaurus 26x1.95 tires.
