USAGE
The Van Nicholas Blaze is the product of long hours and late nights of extensive planning, design, and testing based on aerodynamics and optimal performance delivery. It’s for the multi-sport rider who wants the very best.
DESIGN
Utilising cold-worked, aerodynamically enhanced 3AL/2.5V Titanium tubing throughout, the Blaze’s ability to cut through the air is aided by a ‘radiused’ seat tube that ‘tucks in’ the rear wheel, fully concealed cables and an integrated aero seat post system. The Blaze is a rare machine: rocket-fast, multi-sport suitable, but still delivering Titanium’s trademark comfort.
MATERIAL
