Marin Nicasio 1

Description

The Marin Nicasio 1 — Steel Soul, Modern Performance

The Marin Nicasio 1 is proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a great ride. It sits at the entry point of the Nicasio family. However, it still delivers the smooth, lively feel that CrMo steel is famous for. Whether you’re commuting, exploring country lanes, or heading out on a gravel adventure, this bike handles it all with ease.

A CrMo Steel Frame That Rides as Good as It Looks

The Nicasio 1 is built around a Steezy double-butted chromoly steel frame with Marin’s Beyond Road geometry. CrMo steel naturally absorbs road vibration. As a result, it keeps you comfortable over long distances in a way that aluminium simply can’t match.

The matching CrMo steel fork adds to that smooth character. Furthermore, both frame and fork feature mudguard and rack eyelets, so you can set this bike up for commuting or loaded touring with ease. Disc mounts are included throughout, keeping the build clean and future-proof.

The frame accepts tyres up to 45mm wide. This means you can fit everything from slick urban tyres to chunky gravel rubber, depending on where you’re riding.

Reliable Gearing for Every Ride

Shifting is handled by a Shimano Claris 2×8-speed drivetrain — a dependable groupset that suits varied terrain well. The FSA Tempo Compact chainset (50/34T) pairs with a SunRace 11-32T cassette. Consequently, you get low gears for long climbs and plenty of speed on the flat. Shimano brake levers feature integrated shifters, so the cockpit stays tidy and everything stays within easy reach.

Disc Brakes and Quality Wheels

Tektro MDC400 mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors sit front and rear. They deliver strong, consistent stopping power in all weathers. This matters greatly on wet UK roads and muddy gravel paths. The double-wall Marin aluminium wheels lace to forged alloy disc hubs with 32 spokes each. Therefore, you get a solid, reliable build that handles the demands of daily riding. WTB Exposure 700×36 tyres roll efficiently on tarmac and grip confidently when the surface turns rough.

Cockpit and Components

The Marin compact 16° flared drop handlebar gives you multiple hand positions on longer rides. It suits mixed-terrain riding particularly well. Marin comfort bar tape, a 3D forged alloy stem, and a 27.2mm alloy seatpost complete a clean, well-considered cockpit.

Who Is the Marin Nicasio 1 For?

The Marin Nicasio 1 gravel bike suits a wide range of riders. It works especially well for cyclists moving from road to mixed-terrain riding, commuters who need all-weather reliability, touring cyclists wanting rack and mudguard compatibility, and anyone who values the ride quality of steel at a sensible price.
