[80,000 yen range] The optimal solution for city riders! A gravel road bike that handles everything from commuting to weekend cycling.

Check out the road bike "Nodi" that blends in with both suits and casual wear, as well as in the city and nature. Faster than a mom bike and more relaxed to ride than a road bike, priced under 100,000 yen──yes, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

Stable and speedy 32mm tires

The "Nodi" features 32mm tires that are thinner than typical mama-chari (Japanese utility bicycles) and mountain bikes. It has a gravel road design that is not as aggressive as a road bike. The tires are slightly wider than the standard 25mm tires used on road bikes, providing a light and speedy feel on paved roads. At the same time, it establishes stability that allows for smooth riding on bumps and gravel paths.

The handlebar position, overall length of the bike, and stem length have been tuned for city riding. It is designed to be easy to ride even in narrow alleys, curves, and uneven streets, rather than being a racing bike that only pursues speed. It maintains a balance where it serves as an everyday vehicle while still allowing you to enjoy the "fun of riding."

The "reassurance of stopping" with disc brakes

The reliable braking performance that allows you to stop firmly when you want to is essential for city riding. Therefore, "Nodi" adopts disc brakes, which have become mainstream in recent sports bikes. Since it uses a method that sandwiches the disc located at the center of the wheel, it maintains braking power even on rainy days and can stop sharply in urban areas with many hills and traffic signals.

Before shipping, more than a dozen inspections are conducted, including brake braking tests, frame durability tests, and pedal load tests. After arriving in Japan, all units undergo maintenance and inspection, checking everything from brakes and gear shifts to wheel trueness before shipping.

Equipped with Shimano Claris

At approximately 11 kg, it is lightweight and suitable for maneuvering in apartment stairways and doorways. It is ideal for those who often need to lift their bicycles during daily commutes or city rides.

The components feature Shimano's "Claris" and are equipped with an 8-speed gear system. It comes standard with a grade that is often found in bikes costing over 100,000 yen, allowing you to enjoy a riding experience that exceeds the price.

Shift operation is light, and gear changes are smooth and precise. In the bustling city with many traffic signals, you can accelerate and decelerate without stress, and by downshifting on small hills, you can climb with good rhythm.

Inspection guarantee + theft insurance after-sales support

Because it's an expensive sports bike, you don't want to skip maintenance. Moreover, if you have insurance prepared in case of theft, you can ride with peace of mind.

With "Nodi," the full support package "Cycle One," which includes inspection guarantee and theft insurance, comes with every purchase. The inspection guarantee covers labor costs for regular checks, repairs, and parts installation, allowing maintenance at bicycle shops nationwide. In case of theft, if conditions are met, insurance that compensates 70% of the purchase price is also provided.

Since it comes with a system that supports you even after purchase, it's perfect for beginners riding a road bike.
