NESTO ALTERNA FLAT | A flat bar road bike that lets you easily enjoy the lightness of a road bike

A sports bike that offers the ease of a cross bike and the speed of a road bike – the perfect in-between.

The NESTO ALTERNA FLAT is a bike that allows you to zip through the city with ease, and before you know it, you've gone a little further than planned. It naturally encourages you to extend your rides.

Based on a road bike frame design but equipped with easy-to-handle flat handlebars, this model is lighter and sportier than a cross bike. Its charm lies in the exquisite balance that allows you to ride it without the same intensity as a road bike.

The complete bike weighs a mere 9.5kg for the 500mm size. The smooth acceleration generated by the lightweight 6061 aluminum frame and road-bike components transforms both daily commutes and weekend rides into enjoyable experiences.

This flat bar road bike is perfect for those who feel "a cross bike isn't quite enough" but "haven't considered drop handlebars yet."

This model offers a very balanced riding experience for those looking to step up from a cross bike.

The riding position and acceleration are definitely closer to a road bike, and I found it naturally easy to increase cruising speed. Yet, with flat handlebars, the field of vision is wide, making it easy to handle in the city.

The road-bike components, unified with CLARIS, are also a key point, offering a straightforward response when you pedal. You can truly feel the "joy of riding" that a sports bike provides.

This is a highly recommended bike for those who feel "road bikes are a bit too high a hurdle, but want to ride faster and more comfortably."

Road-Inspired Design for Nimble Acceleration and Cruising Performance

  • NESTO ALTERNA FLAT flat bar road bike
  • The clear difference in "speed" born from a road bike-derived design

    The ALTERNA FLAT is not a cross bike, but a bike designed based on a road bike.

    The shorter head tube naturally creates a forward-leaning posture, allowing you to effectively put power into the pedals.

    Furthermore, the compact rear triangle provides excellent responsiveness, where each pedal stroke directly translates into propulsion.

    You can definitely experience a "road-like ride" that sets it apart from cross bikes.

 

Peace of Mind with Easy Handling via Flat Handlebars

  • Flat handlebars operability city riding bicycle
  • Ease of handling unique to flat handlebars

    Beyond speed, this bike's appeal also lies in its everyday usability.

    Flat handlebars provide a wide field of view and intuitive braking. You can ride it around town with confidence.

    It has the speed of a road bike, yet you can ride it without feeling overly formal. This "just-right balance" is its great value.

 

Road Components Support Riding Performance

  • SHIMANO Claris Component Flat Bar Road
  • Riding feel created by road-derived component configuration

    The component configuration is derived from road bikes, centered around SHIMANO Claris (2x8 speed).

    Since the crank is also Claris, the response to pedaling is direct, and pedaling efficiency is excellent.

    The 700x28C tires and lightweight 9.5kg frame firmly support nimble acceleration and cruising performance.

 

The Perfect Bike for "Casual Speed"

The ALTERNA FLAT is not an evolution of a cross bike, but a flat bar road bike based on the performance of a road bike.

It offers solid acceleration and cruising performance while being easy to handle with flat handlebars. This balance is highly practical for everyday use.

For those who "want to ride fast but find a road bike a bit too daunting," it's a very practical and satisfying choice.

Including the current sale price, it's an excellent time to consider purchasing it.
