NESTO ALTERNA | A high-performance aluminum road bike combining lightness and comfort at an excellent price

Bringing the joy of road cycling closer to you. An entry-level road bike that brilliantly combines light handling and ease of use.

The NESTO ALTERNA delivers that light, exhilarating acceleration you feel when you first ride a road bike, allowing you to truly experience the sensation of effortlessly cutting through the wind.

Weighing just 9.0kg for the 500mm size, it features a lightweight 6061 aluminum frame and a FLEXOR structure that allows the rear triangle to flex, ensuring not only lightness but also comfort.

Equipped with a full SHIMANO SORA groupset, it offers reliable shifting and braking performance. Furthermore, it comes standard with tubeless-ready wheels, making it easy to upgrade in the future.

This is a highly refined aluminum road bike that will serve you well for commuting, weekend rides, long-distance cycling, and even stepping up to more advanced riding.

 

Features

  • Lightweight aluminum road bike weighing 9.0kg for the 500mm size
  • Highly rigid and beautifully designed frame with 6061 aluminum + smooth welding
  • FLEXOR structure improves road-following performance and comfort
  • Full SHIMANO SORA (2x9 speed) for stable shifting performance and operation feel
  • Tubeless-ready wheels as standard equipment
  • Tapered head tube for high front-end rigidity
  • Includes pedals, bell, and reflectors for immediate riding after purchase

As a first road bike, it's quite polished, making it easy to feel "completely satisfied" with this one.

The lightness is distinctly felt, making acceleration agile, and thanks to the FLEXOR structure, road vibrations are well absorbed, giving the impression that you won't tire easily even on long rides.
