Less can sometimes be more, which is why, for the Nuroad EX, we chose Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x12 gears – for a wide range of ratios with minimal fuss. A Newmen Performance 25 gravel wheelset shod with light, tough and grippy Continental Terra Trail 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 equip your Nuroad EX for anything from the daily commute to weekend adventures.
Frame description 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 to keep gear shifts grit- and mud-free for longer. 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 an extended size range running from XXS to XL, we're confident that pretty much any rider can find their perfect Nuroad.
