These bikes, including Specialized's Sirrusly different hybrid and Trek's alloy Emonda, are currently being tested to the max with full reviews coming soon
The Marin Nicasio+ is an update to the brand’s all-rounder steel bike, with a modern twist. Marin has switched the tyres to some big-volume 47mm WTB Horizons rolling on 650b wheels.
The drivetrain has been swapped to 1x only and is provided by microSHIFT. This means you’ll get a 1x9 drivetrain, powerful Tektro mechanical disc brakes and plenty of Marin-branded components.Marin says this is the perfect bike for long-distance commuting and endurance, plus all-weather ‘pavement’ riding. We’ll need to wait for the review to find out how well it rides, but the classic tube shapes definitely make the bike look like a very capable all-rounder.
Before the performance gains, let’s go over the basic spec. This bike comes with SRAM’s Rival AXS electronic groupset, rolls on Merida carbon wheelset wrapped in Continental GP5000 tyres in a 25mm width, and the rest of the finishing kit is courtesy of Merida.In the tests Merida has run, it found the Reacto CF5 needs just 209 watts of effort for 45 km/h speed, making it “one watt faster”.
