This is your bike for everything. Where there are no cars, no traffic, no stress. You, your bike, and nature. Nothing more, nothing less. Or would you rather spend your evening on asphalt riding around the lake? No matter where you want to go, this bike will take you there.
We are excited to introduce our new Nozama! This bike comes with some cool new features, and if we think it's cool, then you will definitely think it's cool too! This Nozama is designed for maximum tire clearance of up to 40mm. That’s the perfect width for someone who wants more of a road bike but still wants to get off of the road and out of traffic.
This frame is prepared for a 1- or 2-speed drivetrain. The shift cables and brake lines can either be fully hidden (fully integrated cables, as shown, best with an electronic drivetrain) or routed internally (cables entry points in the down tube). The frame also has mounts for fenders and a rear rack, should these be needed.
The Nozama has a T47 bottom bracket shell. The larger diameter allows the shift cable(s) and brake line to be completely routed internally from the front to back through the bottom bracket. The bike looks even better, with fewer distracting cables. And it is also lighter, about 150g. Yes, 150g isn’t much, but if you're the type for whom every gram counts, that’s quite a lot. The T47 bottom bracket also offers increased stiffness than its smaller brother, the BSA standard. Although we believe that stiffness isn’t always better, the more power from your legs going into speed on the bike is definitely not a bad thing. If you haven't heard of the T47 standard yet: it has a larger diameter than BSA but still has threads. Unlike press-fit bottom brackets, which don't have threads, the T47 doesn’t have the unwanted creaking and cracking noises that you might be familiar with on other bikes. The installation and removal of threaded bottom brackets, like the T47, is also significantly easier than with press-fit bottom brackets.
This steel frame is made from Columbus tubing, a mix of Life, Zona, and Cromor. With a 35mm down tube, the frame offers a comfortable and predictable riding experience. The nice, thin seat stays provide for more comfortable tours.
And the name, you ask? Spelled backward, Nozama is Amazon. No, not the online retailer! A portion of the profits from every Nozama sold are donated to the organization Amazon Watch. Amazon Watch supports indigenous peoples in the Amazon region and thus protects the rainforest and our climate.
What are you waiting for? Great tours in forests and on the road await you.
