Tough, light, fast – and that's just your youngster! On board the Nulane Rookie, they'll be unstoppable. By combining the flat handlebar and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes from a mountain bike with the light, adaptable frame of our gravel series, we've made a bike that'll keep going when the road ends. Tough ACID gravel wheels and grippy, comfortable 45mm Schwalbe tyres are hooked up to Shimano's reliable, wide-ranging Cues 1x9 gears. And the frame's adaptable mounting points mean it's easy to kit it out for any adventure...
Frame
The Nulane Rookie's frame is packed with attention to detail. We've crafted High Performance Aluminium into an elegant structure, using Smooth Welding and carefully chosen tube profiles, while an integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the clean aesthetic. There's also clearance for 50mm tyres – 45mm with mudguards fitted – and extra mounting points on the top tube for optional accessories like a frame bag or multi-tool, as well as all the usual attachment points for carrier and mudguards. Put it all together, and it's the ideal gravel frame for keen youngsters with adventure running through their veins.
