Pioneer
Product Description
In designing the Pioneer, Van Nicholas aimed to create a bike that had minimal fracture points: no hydraulic cables, no derailleurs and no front suspension. Simple? Yes. The true complexity, however, lies in the choice of material and quality of construction.
The Pioneer combines a heavy-duty, paint-free titanium frame sporting a titanium seat post with durable bulletproof Schwalb balloon tires. It also comes with the integrated 14-gear Rohloff system (like having 27-MTB gears) for one-handed shifting through its entire gear range, whether stationary or in motion. Frames are guaranteed for life because titanium will never rust, corrode or break down. Lighter, cleaner, and quieter than a regular chain bike, the belt-drive bike is a sensible choice for commuters and tourers alike.
