The PUBLIC V9-AL (Aluminum) is our lightest diamond-frame bike to date. Its sleek, lightweight aluminum frame stands apart with premium tubing and sporty geometry that strikes the ideal balance between performance and comfort. The Shimano 9-speed drivetrain delivers a wide gear range, making it easy to transition from navigating city streets to climbing hills with confidence. A Rapidfire trigger shifter ensures smooth, responsive gear changes, while commuter-tested riser bars provide precise handling. The V9-AL is finished with our Premium Sport Saddle and vegan leather bolt-on grips for immediate comfort. Weighing in at just 25 lbs, the PUBLIC V9-AL is approximately 20% lighter than our average steel bike. Rack and fender mounts come standard, so you can outfit it for commuting, errands, or weekend adventures.
