Steel is real!
Born from the same ethos as the Gestalt series, the Nicasio is designed to take you beyond the tarmac. These endurance models let you take any path you’d like, whether it’s on pavement or gravel road. This bike craves long adventures and it’s built to carry you and your gear on your longest journeys. Rack and mudguard mounts, a wide range of gearing for climbing, and a stable geometry make it the perfect choice for loaded multi-day trips and comfortable all-day adventures.
The Nicasio is for the rider looking for something different and modern, yet with traditional steel construction. Classic lines and CrMo frame tubes have the soul of a classic bike, with the geometry and 700C x 30mm-40mm or 650B x 47mm tires to let riders handle any surface.
Why ride a steel bike? The biggest advantage of steel is its toughness. Most steel bikes can survive dings, bends, scratches and still be ridden safely for many years. This makes it the perfect frame for challenging adventures. Also, steel frames are really comfortable – they have more inherent flex to them than other materials, which lends the bike a subtle springiness. At the same time as smoothing out the road surface, good steel manages to give you feedback about it. You can ‘feel’ the road through your handlebars’how granular the asphalt, how chunky the gravel stones.
So go ahead, take the ride of your dreams with the Marin Nicasio Plus!
