RIDE

FURTHER

A great gravel bike frame blends the lively handling of a race bike with the ruggedness of a cyclocross machine and the comfort of a tourer. That's a tricky balancing act to get right, but the Nuroad C:62 pulls it off. Lightweight carbon construction and careful attention to detail mean it's tough, comfortable and versatile. The full carbon fork features lowrider rack mounts, while integrated carrier and mudguard mounts make it easy to accessorise. It's practical, too – huge clearances mean you can run 45mm tyres without mudguards, or 40mm with.

TAKE OUR GRAVEL-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY, MAKE IT INTO A FULL CARBON FRAME WITH A FULL CARBON FORK, ADD SOME CAREFULLY SELECTED COMPONENTS AND WHAT D'YOU HAVE? THE NUROAD C:62 PRO, THAT'S WHAT: LIGHT, VERSATILE, COMFORTABLE AND SURPRISINGLY RUGGED. MAKE IT YOUR GATEWAY TO ADVENTURE.

The C:62 Pro is the lowest-priced carbon-framed Nuroad and an expert at handling high-speed gravel tours courtesy of its low weight. Nine kilos for a complete build is not only a clear USP in this price segment but even undercuts some of the more expensive race models. Not content with a light frameset, the bike also benefits from the low weight of the wheels shod with fast-rolling tyres. This translates to speed and stability off-road, while the relatively stretched out position keeps the wheels turning fast even on the tarmac. The carbon-fibre seatpost and factory fitted tyres deliver excellent cushioning, with clearance for up to 45mm for even more vibration-absorbing comfort. The 1x transmission includes low, hill-friendly gearing, is easy to use and has enough in reserve to grind up steep climbs, although the jumps between gears are fairly large.  

Gravel Special - TOUR magazine 05/23

The Nuroad C:62 Pro combines the comfort and low weight of a full carbon gravel chassis with Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x groupset, giving you everything you need to explore further afield. The Newmen wheelset – designed especially for gravel – is the ideal home for a pair of super-grippy Schwalbe tyres. Add the power of hydraulic disc brakes and the comfort of a full carbon fork and Newmen carbon seatpost, and you're all out of excuses. Where will it take you next weekend?
