For their 2016 lineup, Stolen Bikes have combined their “regular” and XLT versions of their popular cruisers (the 24″ Saint and 26″ Zeke) into one model, the “XLT.”
What does that mean for you?
The broad strokes are:
You will be getting a complete (in whichever size you choose) that is full chromoly, kitted out with all sealed parts (except pedals), 48-spline cranks and a Pivotal seat/seatpost combo. (Did you notice there’s 8″ bars on the Saint XLT?)
Let’s take a look at the 24″ first.
Saint XLT Geometry/Specs
- Head Tube 74.5°
- Seat Tube 71°
- Top Tube 21.5″
- Chain Stay 15″
- BB height: 13.8″
Two colorways available
You can get the Saint XLT in Black or Matte Ammo Can Green.
The Black colorway comes with Limited Edition All Tan Joint Tires…that’s some freshness right there!
An added bonus?
Those All Tan 24 x 2.2 Limited Edition Stolen Joint tires will be available separately. Don’t sleep on these though…Stolen is only doing one run of these tires for the US market so get on these quick/fast/in-a-hurry.
Next up, the 26″.
Zeke XLT Geometry/Specs
- Head Tube 74.5°
- Seat Tube 72°
- Top Tube 22.25″
- Chain Stay 16″
- BB Height: 13.3″
Colorway
The Zeke comes in Chrome.
A nod to the old school, perhaps? Whatever the reason, I dig it.
Pretty nice completes, that’s for sure.
If building up a 24″ is more your thing…not to worry…Stolen is still offering their aftermarket Stolen Gold Frame & Fork.
Have a peek at their new catalog for that, along with their rather extensive range of parts.
Superb bikes. Why is the BB of the 26″ so low? It’s lower than the 24″. I don’t get it?
I wondered the same, anyway I love my Saint. Best completes on the market for 24 and 26.
@ian & @buddy, We have a lower BB on the 26″ because it is designed for a little less street and is more stable at speed.
