WHY SINGLE SPEED?

The single speed is the essence of the bicycle, the bicycle reduced to its simplest device: refined to the maximum, 1 single speed, 2 brakes and a freewheel. We have been cycling for years and started riding single speed in Tokyo (a hilly city) in 2014. We fell in love with it and JITENSHA was born.

VERSATILE AND COMFORTABLE

Lightweight (< 10 kg for all sizes), frame developed exclusively by and for JITENSHA in double butted Cr-Mo 4130 + thin 25 mm tires + gear ratio 48 x 18 teeth = impressive, easy and special experience.

RELIABILITY AND MINIMUM MAINTENANCE

A single speed, simple and efficient technologies, quality parts: no maintenance, no skipping gears or derailing chain, no strange noises. 100% control, 100% pleasure.

JITENSHA are made of Cr-Mo steel (variation in the thickness of the tubes and reinforcement at the joints to optimize the weight/strength ratio). This alloy is the most suitable for city bikes. It offers superior comfort to other fashionable materials (aluminum, titanium or carbon). It has a natural flex to absorb road vibrations. Compared to standard steel, Cr-Mo offers 2 times more resistance. This helps to lighten the frame while having an ideal balance between strength, weight and durability.
