R18 Disc

Upgrade your everyday ride with the PUBLIC R18 Disc. Featuring updated, more playful geometry, all-weather mechanical disc brakes, and a versatile 2×9 drivetrain, it’s built to confidently handle everything from city streets to steep climbs or country roads. The R18 Disc blends high-performance design with modern commuter sensibility. Its lightweight Chromoly frame is available in sizes to fit riders from 4’10” to 6’3”, while the Shimano drivetrain and Rapidfire trigger shifters deliver quick, precise gear changes. Mechanical disc brakes provide reliable, confidence-inspiring stopping power in all conditions. At PUBLIC, function, design, and aesthetics are always thoughtfully considered—and the R18 Disc is no exception. We believe it’s our best-performing commuter, ideal for riders who prefer the comfort and control of a flat handlebar without sacrificing efficiency, performance, or style. We recommend our unique Ready to Ride shipping option for this model. You’ll receive a 99% assembled bike delivered to your doorstep, professionally tuned and carefully packed by our trained technicians here in Marin County, California.
