NESTO ALTERNA | A speed-oriented entry-level road bike you'll want to snap up during the sale
The NESTO ALTERNA is a recommended choice for those who are new to road biking but want to experience the joy of "riding fast."
It features a lightweight aluminum frame and geometry that makes it easy to maintain an aggressive riding position, typical of a road bike. While it's an entry-level model, it's designed to deliver a thrilling sense of speed rather than a leisurely ride.
Furthermore, it's currently part of an end-of-model-year sale, dropping from the manufacturer's suggested retail price of ¥143,000 (tax included) to a SALE price of ¥114,400 (tax included). Considering the balance between its excellent performance and affordability, this road bike is a highly attractive option.

An entry-level road bike that truly delivers on speed
The appeal of the ALTERNA lies in its clear focus on performance, despite being an entry-level model.
It's not just easy to ride, like an extended version of a hybrid bike; it's designed to truly deliver the exhilarating acceleration and speed characteristic of a road bike.
For those who "want to experience the joy of riding fast when choosing a road bike," the ALTERNA is an excellent first model.
Featuring a 6061 aluminum frame, the complete bike weighs a claimed 9.0kg.
This makes it one of the lighter entry-level road bikes, allowing riders to easily feel its quick acceleration and smooth momentum once up to speed.
The shorter head tube naturally encourages an aggressive riding position, letting riders enjoy a road bike-like feel. It strikes a perfect balance of sportiness—neither overly race-oriented nor too relaxed.
SORA unified specs offer high satisfaction even with the complete bike
The component group uses SHIMANO SORA.
With shifters, front and rear derailleurs, cranks, and brakes all unified under SORA, this entry-level model offers a reassuring sense of coherent operation and aesthetics, despite its affordable price.
Furthermore, features like tubeless-ready wheels and MAXXIS DETONATOR tires mean the complete bike offers a high level of satisfaction right from the start. It's also an excellent base for future upgrades, such as wheels and pedals.
Summary | For an affordable, speed-oriented entry-level road bike
The NESTO ALTERNA is a recommended choice for those who are new to road biking but want to truly enjoy a sense of speed.
With its lightweight aluminum frame, sporty geometry, and SHIMANO SORA unified component set, it's designed to deliver excellent performance despite being an entry-level model.
Another attractive point is its high level of satisfaction as a complete bike, with room for future customization like pedals and wheels once you get accustomed to it. Since it's currently part of an end-of-model-year sale, this is an unmissable opportunity for anyone looking to get a speed-oriented road bike at a great price.
