When you're exploring, having the right gear at your fingertips is important. That's why, for the Nuroad EX, we chose Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x12 gears – they're dependable and wide-ranging. A Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheelset equipped with light, tough and grippy Schwalbe 45mm tyres – and Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes – keep you in full control, all of the time. There's a vibration-filtering, full carbon fork for ride-all-day comfort. And a full complement of rack mounts – both front and rear – makes it easy to set up your Nuroad EX for anything from the daily commute to longer tours.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />To create the Nuroad we took inspiration from our race and cyclocross bikes, then threw a little mountain bike DNA into the mix. There's plenty of clearance for big, grippy and comfortable 45mm tyres – or 40mm if you run mudguards at the same time. There's an integrated seat clamp, exceptionally tidy rack, guard and kickstand mounts, and neat Internal Cable Routing. Thru-axle wheels improve steering accuracy, even on the roughest roads. The full carbon fork isn't just lightweight – it also helps reduce vibration from the road and features lowrider rack mounts. And, with a size range running from XXS to XL, we're confident that pretty much any rider can find their perfect Nuroad.
