WHY A NUA?
BECAUSE IT'S A NUA
Exceptional bikes. Engineered with passion.
Buying a Nua doesn’t just mean buying a bike, it means sticking to a concept and an identity. It means being proud of riding a bike made by passionate engineers for discerning riders.
Nua’s bicycles are for pragmatists: minimalism and elegance are our goal. We are focused on details, not on the superfluous. And we aim for performance.
We strive for simplicity & reliability; we embrace technology without losing sight of the refined and timeless aesthetic that defines our bikes.
We put the human at the center of our design process in order to make your bike an extension of your body.
We make unique bikes for unique people.
WHY A NUA?
DURABILITY
Titanium frames. Lifetime warranty.
Nua’s philosophy is to create a bike that will last, a timeless treasure, a bike that will be with you for decades. Our bikes are very special objects designed and crafted to be part of your everyday life. We stand firmly against planned obsolescence and we responsibly build durable bikes.
The core of this concept is the backbone of your bike: a solid, sturdy & light frame made out of one of the noblest materials available on earth: titanium.
The exceptional quality of the Grade 9 Titanium tubes (alloy Ti-3Al-2,5V) we carefully select for our frames allows us to design comfortable and durable frames thanks to the extraordinary corrosion and fatigue resistance properties of this unique and exclusive material.
The cherry on the cake: each and every of our titanium frames comes with a lifetime warranty.
WHY A NUA?
HI-TECH
Gearboxes. Carbon belt drives.
At Nua, we believe that a good bicycle is a bicycle that you can forget while you’re riding it - a natural extension of your body. Perfact shifting, a clean transmission, low noise and nearly maintenance-free bikes are the keys to enjoying your ride and experiencing freedom.
Unconvinced by the traditional derailleur and chain pairing, we believe that state-of-the art shifting and torque transmission technologies provide an unequaled riding experience in line with this vision.
For this reason, we proudly offer Gearbox-based bikes coupled with gates carbon belt drives. We have carefully selected partners like PINION for their P-Line and C-Line central gearboxes. For internal gear hub lovers, we work with Shimano Alfine and Rolhoff Speedhub systems. We do not forget the simplicity seekers and of course offer Single-speed belt drive configurations as the simplest solution.
WHY A NUA?
BUILT WITH LOVE
Expertise. Attention to detail.
At Nua, the people who provide you with advice when creating your dream build will be the exact same people who sign off on the drawings of your frame, make the stringent quality control checks and finally build your bike in-house. This means we care about every single detail of your bike like no one else!
As passionate bicycle manufacturers, we really do care for every bike that we create as if it were our own child and – truly - nearly cry when each one leaves the workshop. Each and every one of our bikes is assembled by hand, with love and care (including the wheel assembly). One bike at a time and by a single mechanic. 100% of our bicycles are meticulously ride-tested before being shipped to you.
On top of that, this truly dedicated small team offers a lifetime frame warranty and provides unlimited customer service in case you need advice or help in solving any component related problems. We are here for you and always happy to hear from our bikes!
NUA CONCEPT SERIES
“Nua concept series” are the custom bikes that we would build for ourselves – offered to you at the best prices.
We are launching the “Concept series” for those looking for a bargain on a Nua signature design.They are concept bikes, non-customizable and available by preorder only. Thanks to this slightly larger production in small batches, you can make the most of your money without compromising on the exceptional quality of a high-end titanium bike. With cutting-edge frame design and the finest components selected by ourselves, this limited edition concept allows you to get a genuine Nua for a lower price.
The first ever “Nua concept” will be released soon and we’ve decided to celebrate Nua’s urban, classy and sporty identity and mix it up with a bit of knobby off-road taste and refined curvy lines. Legendary Rolhoff internal gear hubs, Gates belt drives and integrated lights are in! The Nua Arco is born! More news soon.
NUA ELECTRICA (E-BIKE)
The Nua Electrica is the fastest and most technologically advanced commuter bike we have designed to date. This elegant E-bike brings the Nua philosophy to the next level and lets us express ourselves using cutting-edge technology to create the “Nua of the future”.
Incredibly light, perfectly integrated and totally silent, this complete E-bike can be pedaled like a normal bike as it weighs less than 13kg depending on your configuration – that’s less than most of the non-electric bikes out there! The beauty of this extremely simple concept lies in pairing a Zehus motor battery combo and a maintenance-free Gates belt drive.
For a feeling of total freedom while cruising the city at light speed, the Zehus does not require a handlebar display computer – unless you wish to connect your smartphone for ultimate control - and has a wide range of autonomy (30km in Turbo fully assisted mode or an infinite range using the exclusive self-charging mode that will set you free from electric plugs).
Are you ready for Nua-powered moments of pure effortless two-wheeled joy?
NUA SÍLICE
The motto of the Nua Silice could be “fast but comfortable, everywhere”. This is our titanium “road plus” , a road bike/commuter mix on steroids with improved off-road capabilities and drop bars(some will call it a gravel bike though).
Designed to tackle any terrain with an interesting bit of added comfort thanks to tires with three times the air volume of normal road tires (up to 650x48mm tires vs 700x28mm maximum normally), this bicycle is at ease and surprisingly fast on city streets, asphalt roads, gravel roads and even on some singletracks for the most audacious.
Sporty yet convenient, it comes with a light and responsive tapered thru axle Carbon fork and is equipped with Curana mudguards that will make your rides as clean as your Gates belt drive.
This fast machine is stopped by powerful TRP hr/hd discbrakes activated by microSHIFT levers, which work perfectly with the silent and maintenance-free Shimano Alfine 11 gear hub. For Rolhoff lovers, we offer the option of a Speedhub with Sram Force 22 levers and brakes.
Silice. For those who demand more from their bicycle.
NUA SALVAJE
Into the wild! The “Salvaje” (spanish for “wild”) is a modern and incredibly versatile off-road machine designed to expand your range of exploration and decrease the need for maintenance.
This spirited mountain bike is ready for any adventure, whatever the weather, whatever the terrain, thanks to the state-of-the-art combination of a sturdy Pinion gearbox and a durable Gates belt drive. In addition, huge plus-size knobby tires (27,5 x 3,0”) paired to a feather-weight icelandic-designed Lauf TR suspended fork deliver an unequaled riding experience on any surface both in terms of grip and comfort. In other words: just focus on the landscape and seek the path less travelled, your companion will not require any attention and is at ease everywhere!
Mounted with MTB riser bars it will allow you to tackle your favorite local trails like never before, and kitted out with bikepacking-specific bars, racks and bags you could confidently embark on a maintenance-free unsupported world tour with this audacious adventurer.
So, where will your Salvaje take you?
NUA AUDAÇ
Have you ever wished you had a bike that could do everything? Which would adapt to any terrain and any climate? The Nua Audaç is the answer to your dreams. Equally perfect for urban commuting, weekend trekking, touring, or mountain adventures, it is our do-it-all, fully equipped bike.
Fast, light, and elegant, sporting the latest Shimano internally geared Alfine hub (or Rolhoff speedhub, available as an option), it will take on any degree of slope whatever the terrain, aided by its gravel tires and 700C wheels. Titanium flat handlebars offer a comfortable yet dynamic and versatile riding position.
To make this machine a true all-rounder, capable of riding in the dark, in the rain, when you have a heavy load, we’ve selected a clean, maintenance-free Gates belt drive, a Shutter Precision dynamo-hub feeding Supernova’s powerful LED lights (with internal wire routing), Shimano hydro-disc brakes, a Tubus rack, and Curana mudguards (with a stealthily integrated rear light).
Do not sacrifice performance and elegance over capability. Choose one bike. Choose the Nua Audaç.
NUA DUAL
The Dual is the epitome of our philosophy: versatility, cutting-edge technology and maintenance-free durability. All combined in a machine with the minimalist, elegant and timeless look that characterizes all our bikes.
The Dual has been designed to live a double life: on weekdays it is a comfortable and speedy urban commuter; on weekends it morphs into a spirited off-roader, ready for any adventure. A bike for everything and forever, thanks to its 27,5 inch - 60mm wide tires, which offer traction and comfort on any off-road track, while rolling effortlessly on asphalt.
The heart of the Dual is the fabulous duo of Pinion and Gates: a state-of-the-art gearbox mechanism seamlessly integrated into the frame, and a clean and silent belt transmission, working together in perfect harmony. The exceptional performance and superb aesthetics are also guaranteed by our components, all constructed from titanium, the only material that offers both rigidity and comfort.
Are you ready to live a double life?
NUA KENSHO
The Nua Kensho is our sporty and sexy gearbox-equipped urban racer, made to bomb along the city streets in style.
It features the low maintenance of a single-speed, but sports the versatility of (at least) the six gears provided by a sturdy Pinion C1.6 gearbox paired to a Gates belt drive.
To make this extravagant titanium commuter fast and light, we equipped it with a responsive yet comfortable carbon fork and a stealth-black pair of Crank brothers Cobalt 1 wheels shoed with super slick 700x35 Schwalbe Kojak tires. A classy and timeless Thomson stem and seatpost will satisfy the most discerning eye.
The cherry on the cake: this speedy urban bike is safely stopped by aggressive Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes. Coming from the mountain bike world, they provide totally city-proof braking power.
Are you ready to tear up the asphalt?
NUA ROURE
Whether you call it adventure, expedition or travel, the Nua Roure is a two wheeled exploration vehicle designed to meet your requirements and even more - wherever you plan to go. The Roure is our fully equipped rigid off-roader, a true bikepacking & biketouring weapon.
We wanted it light: its frame and fork are made out of Grade 9 titanium tubes.
We wanted it classy: it sports elegant Nua’s titanium components and a vintage looking Gilles berthoud leather saddle.
We wanted it comfortable: it rocks Schwalbe G-one 27,5x3” knobby plus tires for better traction and shock absorption.
We wanted it robust: its transmission is a Gates CDX carbon belt drive paired to a Pinion Gearbox. It is safe to say it does not require a lot of maintenance.
We wanted it performant: Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes will stop you anytime, whatever the load you carry (you could even choose the 4 pistons version).
Finally, we wanted it convenient: Supernova lights feeded by Shutter precision or Son dynamo hub will light your path anytime and racks can be added in case of necessity.
We bet you can plan your next trip in the outdoors, we’ve got you covered with the Roure.
NUA MINIMA
The Nua Minima is your best bet if you are looking for the mythic ride quality of Nua bikes without breaking the bank. This is our synthesis of what a modern urban commuter should be like: minimal, and focused on the essential.
Rocking a Nua titanium frame, Nua carbon fork and Shimano disc brakes, it offers the finest components at a reasonable price.
Sporting a Gates CDN belt and cranks, DT Swiss wheels hand assembled in-house, and a Lightskin handlebar and seatpost with integrated lights, the Minima is equipped with the essentials of modern urban life and nothing superfluous.
The Minima(list) approach of this configuration is designed for the best mind-liberating riding experience: one gear, one rider, one road. Forget your bike and focus on the Nua riding sensations!
For those worried about a single speed or looking for a bit more versatility in hilly cities, Shimano Alfine 8 and 11 speed gear hubs are available as an option.
Less is better.
NUA CLASSICA
The Nua Classica was our first production bike, the origen of Nua Bikes. A single speed stripped of everything superfluous. Simple, light, and incredibly agile on the street thanks to its comfortable and stylish titanium frame.
Designed for lovers of classic and neo-retro bicycles, the slender tubes of the frame, the old-school look of the segmented titanium fork, and the Brooks leather components give the impression that time has stood still for this piece of art.
The same commitment to timeless, easy-to-maintain simplicity led us to choose road rim brakes for the Classica.
The only hint of modernity: the Gates belt drive, which makes this bike silent, clean and exclusive – in other words: desirable.
Built with the highest quality components, it guarantees many years of enjoyment with minimal maintenance. A landmark design from Barcelona.
NUA TRAMUNTANA
The Nua Tramuntana is our sporty and performant all-road machine, a bicycle stripped of the superfluous made to be fast and light on and off the roads.
Traditional 700C wheels shoed with tires from 32mm up to 44mm make this drop bar bike at ease on the asphalt or the gravel roads depending on what type of tires you choose: slick for road and urban rides or knobby for the most adventurous.
The essence of the Tramuntana is to be comfortable yet performant, so it has been designed around a complete titanium chassis, including both the frame and the fork. The properties of this extraordinary material paired to the generous tires would easily filter the bumps on any surface.
The sturdy and efficient transmission is designed around a gates CDX carbon belt drive combined to a proven Rolhoff Speedhub 14 speeds internal gear hub. Sram Force road shifters and brake levers are used paired to a Rohbox to control the shifting and the powerful Sram hydraulic disc brakes.
Last but not least, the Tramuntana is adaptable and accepts optional dynamo hubs, lights or racks.
How fast can you ride your tramuntana?
