This video was produced in partnership with Van Nicholas.
BikeRadar caught up with titanium specialists Van Nicholas at the recent Eurobike trade show, here we learned what to expect from the brand in 2016.
The Boreas is a new race bike from the Dutch firm; it sports a comfort-enhancing 27.2mm seatpost and has room for 28mm rubber. Van Nicholas also presented its new 650b plus hardtail - the Revelstoke, which has been designed to accommodate 3in tyres but doubles up as a 29er. The Revelstoke built for Eurobike also featured an exciting prototype fork. The single-sided, dual-crown rigid unit was, naturally for Van Nicholas, produced from titanium and is likely to end up a production item.
The brand also showed off a new touring bike complete with a pinion gearbox transmission along with the latest version of its value focused Ventus road bike. The Ventus is now available with Shimano’s 105 11-speed groupset, and at €1,999 complete it appears astonishing value.
Van Nicholas was also proud of was its new online configurator, which allows customers to build a custom spec bike that can then be ordered through the company’s dealer network.
