Nich Legend

Nich Legend is the dedicated aero race bike for riders who measure speed in seconds per kilometre. A deep-section carbon race frame with integrated cockpit, internal routing, and geometry built for sustained high-speed efforts — configured one-to-one through Approved Cycling with the groupset, wheels, and contact points that match your racing.

Who it's for

Crit racers, fast group-ride riders, triathletes, and committed roadies who spend most of their time at 35+ km/h on flat and rolling terrain — and who want a bike that rewards aggressive position and hard efforts.

Why riders choose this build

• Aero-tuned race frame. All-round bikes give up free watts at the speeds racers actually ride at. Legend's deep tube shapes and aero-optimised front end cut drag in the 35–50 km/h window — so you hold the wheel in front longer and finish fresher.
• Race geometry, long & low. Endurance bikes feel soft when you're pushing in the drops. Legend's longer reach and lower stack let you settle into a true race position without spacer stacks or stem flipping.
• Integrated carbon cockpit included. Aftermarket aero cockpits are a €600 add-on. Every Legend ships with the integrated bar/stem in your spec — pre-fitted, cable-clean, aero from day one.
• Wheels chosen for your races. A €6,000+ bike on the wrong wheelset wastes its own design. We help you pick between Nich Atem Silk Road (3.8 or 5.5), Fulcrum Racing 4 DB, or Fulcrum Wind 57 DB — based on the courses you actually ride.
• Fully internal cable routing. External cables snag, wear, and break the aero numbers. Legend's full internal routing keeps the bike fast, quiet, and serviceable for the life of the frame.
• Built by racers, for racers. Mail-order superbikes skip the conversation about gearing for your courses, saddle for your power output, and reach for your flexibility. We brief, fit, and build at the atelier before the bike ships.
