NICH 2025 FAITH Road Bike
The NICH Faith is a UCI-approved carbon road bike built with Torayca T800 carbon fibre, weighing 850g (frame, size S). Available in New Zealand from $17,999 NZD complete with Shimano Di2 or SRAM AXS, it delivers equivalent performance to bikes costing $23,000+ from major brands. Assembled by Thai craftsmen with a lifetime frame warranty.
Designed Concept
As the flagship model of Nich Cycling, the 2025 Faith embodies a relentless pursuit of performance, innovation, and aerodynamic superiority. Designed for riders who demand both speed and versatility, the 2025 Faith is built to redefine what an all-round road bike can achieve. The vision was clear: create an all-round bike that is nearly as fast — or even faster — than a dedicated aero bike while maintaining a balance of lightweight efficiency and ride comfort. Through extensive research and wind tunnel testing, Nich Cycling engineers focused on front-end aerodynamics, where the greatest gains could be made. Every detail, from the handlebar area to the head tube and fork, was meticulously crafted to reduce drag and maximize efficiency, ensuring that the 2025 Faith outperforms its competitors in real-world racing conditions.
Mold & UDH System
Advanced Molding Techniques — The frame and fork utilize a monocoque construction method, enhancing strength while keeping weight to a minimum. Hand-Assembled Perfection — Each frame undergoes meticulous quality control to ensure the highest standards before reaching riders. UDH Rear Hanger System — The 2025 Faith utilizes the Universal Derailleur Hanger, a cutting-edge innovation that enhances drivetrain compatibility and durability. The UDH system improves shifting performance, protects the derailleur in the event of an impact, and ensures riders can easily find replacement hangers worldwide.
First Touch of the AIR
Aerodynamic Handlebar & Cockpit Integration — A fully integrated cockpit system ensures smooth airflow while maintaining stiffness and responsiveness. Internal cable routing minimizes turbulence and enhances aesthetics. Re-engineered Head Tube — By reducing the size of the headset bearing, drag is significantly minimized while preserving precise handling characteristics. D-Shaped Fork Steerer with Wider Fork Blades — This innovation not only enhances aerodynamics but also allows mechanics to seamlessly install hydraulic brake wiring, improving both performance and ease of maintenance.
Ergonomic & Aero Handlebar
New Integrated Carbon Handlebar — The latest iteration of the 2025 Faith features a fully integrated carbon handlebar designed for superior ergonomics, increased stiffness, and reduced weight compared to previous models. Riders can expect enhanced comfort and handling precision. Additionally, a greater variety of sizes, including different widths and stem lengths, ensures a perfect fit for every cyclist. Size Available: Width 36–38–40–42, Length 80/90/100/110/120/130/140
Carbon Fiber Layup
Torayca Carbon Fiber Construction — The 2025 Faith is built using Torayca carbon fiber, Japan's top-tier carbon fiber fabric. The frame primarily uses Toray 800 as the base material, strategically blended with various other carbon fiber grades to optimize each tube and section. Certain areas of the frame require flexibility and compliance to absorb road vibrations and improve rider comfort, while others demand extreme stiffness for peak pedaling efficiency.
