An awful lot of the planet's roads aren't paved. That, of course, is why the Nuroad SLX exists. Built for pace, comfort and adaptability, its elegantly sculpted High Performance Aluminium frame and full carbon fork are just the start. We chose Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x12 gears for their dependable performance and wide range. Newmen Performance Gravel 25 wheels wear 45mm Schwalbe G-One R tyres – and the frame has plenty of space for 50mm, if you choose to upgrade later. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can always slow and stop safely, whatever the weather is throwing your way. And mounting points for mudguards, carriers and other accessories make it simple to set things up for any scenario.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />Form meets function meets perfection in the Nuroad's frame. Crafted from High Performance Aluminium with a keen eye on detail, it blends the organic aesthetic of a road race bike with the practical functionality of a tourer. Advanced Internal Cable Routing, an integrated seat clamp and Smooth Welding all contribute to its svelte appearance, whilst the rigid carbon fork adds a dose of vibration-reducing comfort to the mix. But it's super practical, too, with clearance for up to 50mm tyres (45mm with mudguards), compatibility with our SIC 2.0 rear carrier, and host of mounting points for accessories.
