Shop Talk #24: Nemo Gravel
For Shop Talk #24, we focus on our 100% Made in Milano steel icon—the Nemo Gravel.
The Nemo Gravel is the ultimate designer gravel bike, handcrafted at our Milano HQ using custom triple-butted tubing crafted by Columbus, located a stone’s throw away from our frame building workshop.

The Nemo Gravel has been continuously refined with intense testing by riders, including former UCI World Champions, NYC courier legends, professional snowboarders, and many other athletes pushing the limits of gravel cycling.
With updated geometry and 700 x 47mm tyre clearance, this bike is engineered to conquer the world's most demanding gravel competitions and adventures.
Its custom-shaped seat stays, with oriented ellipses and lowered seat tube welding, are designed to optimise comfort over long distances. The adaptive geometry of the rigid fork, featuring Columbus dropouts, allows the rake to be adjusted from 47 to 52 mm.
