Are Limited Edition Colors available only now?

MARIN BIKES JAPAN has already announced that the limited edition colors (NICASIO SE BLACK EDITION series), which debuted with the 2023 model, will not be produced from 2024 onwards.

Personally, I thought this MAT BLUE was a calm and highly recommended model...

However, it is said that due to the soaring prices of recent times, they had no choice but to abandon continued production.

Therefore, these models are available while supplies last.

In addition, MARIN's 2024 models have already been announced, and the "NICASIO SE" 2024 model has undergone a minor change to "mechanical disc brakes," with a more affordable manufacturer's suggested retail price than the 2023 model.

Nevertheless, our store is having a 20% OFF sale on the 2023 "NICASIO SE" model!

Although it's an older model, the 2023 model has better specs and a lower price, making it a great time to buy!

Recommended features of NICASIO SE

While aluminum frames are popular for cross bikes, the NICASIO SE uses chromoly◎

Chromoly, unlike aluminum, is slightly heavier but offers excellent vibration absorption and durability◎

Also, it has a thinner pipe diameter than aluminum, resulting in a simple and smart design!

Additionally, the NICASIO SE's frame geometry is designed for stability with a low center of gravity◎

Combined with wide tires (650B×47c), it can be said to be a comfortable model!

However, the downside of a low center of gravity and wide tires is speed performance.

Therefore, if you want high-speed performance, a popular aluminum cross bike is recommended.

The NICASIO SE is recommended for those who prioritize "comfort and durability over speed"!

However, its speed performance is higher than that of a typical light vehicle (so-called mamachari)... Be careful!

About NICASIO SE Specifications

As mentioned at the beginning, the 2023 NICASIO SE adopts "hydraulic disc brakes"◎

The strong braking power even in wet weather and the ability to control the brakes with light force are welcome features!

The drivetrain is 1x8SPEED with a single chainring at the front!

Recently, many users find a single chainring sufficient for cross bikes, and it's advantageous for maintenance to not have unused features◎

Also, the fact that a side stand is standard equipment is a welcome feature!
