The Marin Nicasio is where classic steel heritage meets modern all-road performance. As the most accessible model in the Nicasio family, this base-spec version delivers an unbeatable combination of ride quality, style, and versatility — making it the perfect entry point for riders who want to explore life beyond the pavement without breaking the bank.
Built around a beautifully smooth-riding Series 1 double-butted CrMo steel frame and fork, the Nicasio offers the legendary compliance and durability of steel with a clean, timeless aesthetic. Marin’s Beyond Road Geometry brings stability and comfort to longer rides, city commutes, or weekend adventures, with enough responsiveness to keep things lively when the pace picks up.
Rolling on fast 700C wheels wrapped in Vee Tire Co. 30mm rubber, the Nicasio blends road efficiency with light gravel capability — and offers clearance for up to 35mm tires for even greater flexibility. Whether you're navigating city streets, old rail trails, or smooth tarmac, this bike feels composed, connected, and efficient.
The Shimano Claris 2x8-speed drivetrain delivers crisp, dependable shifting with a gear range that handles varied terrain with ease. A compact FSA 50/34T crankset pairs perfectly with the wide-range 11–32T cassette, giving you plenty of options for climbing and cruising alike. Stopping power comes from Tektro MDC400 mechanical disc brakes, offering reliable control and easy maintenance in any weather.
