We don’t normally pay much attention to things that roll (other than throwin’ bones), but this new collab between UNIV and Ellsworth bikes caught our attention because we need a new bike and frankly, we we’ve never been that down with the fashion fixie crowd. This thing can be shifted and it’s got six inches of travel.
UNIV brings a coastal influence and laid-back outlook to the project, making it a high tech mountain bike for the street. UNIV and Ellsworth worked together for months on the building of the bike and all specifications are to suit the limited collaboration project. The bike had been in discussion for a long time as both brands are located near each other in North San Diego County California. Only six of these bikes will be made and will retail for more than $5000.
Okay, so maybe we won’t be picking one up tomorrow, but that shouldn’t stop you from dropping $5k.

Introducing the UNIV for Ellsworth Moment Mountain Bike. This collabor ation is an extremely limited run of the most versatile full suspension bike.
The concept for the UNIV for Ellsworth Moment was to create a detail-oriented, full-suspension street shredder with maximum flare, in contrast to the trend of simplistic throwback re-issues that are now commonplace in street culture. UNIV brings a coastal influence and laid-back outlook to the project, making it a high tech mountain bike for the street. UNIV and Ellsworth worked together for months on the building of the bike and all specifications are to suit the limited collaboration project. The bike had been in discussion for a long time as both brands are located near each other in North San Diego County California. Only six of these bikes will be made and will retail for more than $5000.
The frame and components are 100% made in USA at the Ellsworth facility in Vancouver, Washington. Featuring 6″ of rear travel and Ellsworth’s proprietary Instant Center Tracking suspension, the Moment is the one bike that can go anywhere and do anything.
