NUA KENSHO SINGLE SPEED
Pure titanium minimalism, built for speed and style.
The Nua Kensho Single Speed is a modern titanium commuter designed around efficiency, comfort, and long-term reliability. Built for daily urban riding, it combines minimalist single-speed simplicity with carefully chosen materials and components that enhance ride quality without compromise.
At its core, Kensho Single Speed is crafted from Grade 9 titanium, a material prized for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and natural vibration damping. This gives the bike a lively yet comfortable feel, smoothing rough pavement and reducing fatigue on longer commutes. The dropped seatstays further contribute to shock absorption, subtly filtering road buzz while preserving a responsive, direct ride.
Up front, the Kensho is paired with the Nua Commuter carbon fork. Its tapered 1.5″ steerer delivers a noticeably stiffer front end, improving steering precision, braking control, and stability when accelerating hard or navigating traffic. The carbon construction keeps weight low while helping absorb high-frequency vibrations from the road.
The build is completed with a Campagnolo Zonda GT wheelset, chosen for its blend of durability and confidence-inspiring handling. Designed to perform across rough city streets and even mixed surfaces, the Zonda GT wheels accelerate efficiently, hold speed well, and add a refined, performance-oriented feel to the bike.
Available as a frameset or complete bicycle, the Nua Kensho Single Speed is built to order and designed to be a long-term companion for urban riders who value simplicity, quality, and a smooth, fast commute.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Campagnolo Zonda GT wheelset and Panaracer GravelKing 40mm tires make the Kensho the most versatile urban racer, fast on the paved roads in the city, yet fully capable of weekend adventures out of town on the gravel roads.
Sliding thru-axle dropouts deliver perfectly dialed Gates Carbon Belt Drive tension and make rear wheel removal quick and seamless, without ever needing to re-tension the belt. One of the standout advantages of a sliding dropout system.
Nua Commuter carbon fork with 1.5" tapered steerer is lightweight yet rigid, providing a perfect match to the versatile nature of Kensho.
The oversized T47 threaded bottom bracket increases stiffness and pedaling efficiency while retaining the reliability and easy serviceability of a threaded standard. The threaded interface ensures precise bearing alignment and a quiet, creak-free service life. The result is improved power transfer, long-term durability, and silent performance.
Anodized Nua downtube logo delivers a clean, permanent visual signature — integrated directly into the titanium finish for lasting durability. Subtle, refined, and unmistakably Nua.
The Kensho includes mounting holes for mudguards, a rear rack, and a bottle cage, making it a versatile commuter ready for daily rides or longer urban journeys.
