About

The Hanzo was Pearson's steel single speed, named after the swordsmith, and sold as a complete bike and as a frameset.

Inspired by the famous Hanzo samurai sword, this steel single speed bike is for those who demand authentic engineering. Both robust and comfortable, with full clearance for guards and rack, this street warrior is not to be taken lightly.
