Hiding beneath the sleek, organic lines of the Nuroad Race's frame and full carbon fork is a bike with serious intent. There's a clue in the Shimano GRX 2x12 gears, which serve up a huge range of hill-devouring ratios with the dependable durability of equipment built specifically for gravel use. Matching hydraulic disc brakes and grippy Schwalbe G-One R Performance 45mm tyres on Newmen Performance 25 Gravel wheels offer excellent grip and control in any weather – plus there's clearance for up to 50mm tyres. And, with a huge range of frame and fork mounting points for accessories like mudguards and luggage carriers, it's as adaptable as it is rugged.
