Zion Singlespeed

The workhorse of the Van Nicholas titanium hardtail stable; the Zion maintains our high standards of impeccable craftsmanship and consumer value. The frame incorporates integrated options for disc or V-brakes, Classic Van Nicholas geometry, size specific 3Al/2.5V seamless titanium tubing, and our acclaimed Hand-Brusted finish.

If a derailleur isn’t your bag, then this single-speed option is a great alternative, particularly for the urban landscape. The Titanium frame allied to just one gear gives you a purer feedback and a more invigorating ride – it’s a feel thing.
