Gravel Bike NS BIKES Rag +1 Green / Black - 2025

The NS Bikes RAG+1 Green / Black is much more than just a gravel bike. Designed for adventure, road and trail, it inherits NS Bikes' expertise in the demanding world of downhill mountain biking. The result: a reliable, responsive bike built to last.

Road And Gravel - One bike, two playgrounds.

The RAG+1 lives up to its name: Road And Gravel. Whether you're bikepacking on unfamiliar trails, taking part in a cyclocross race, riding on the road at weekends or using your bike for everyday life, it's ready to go wherever you are.

New features and intelligent design

NS Bikes has refined its formula:

- Optimized geometry: higher steering, shorter stem - for greater comfort over long distances.

- Extended tire compatibility: you can fit even wider tires to explore all types of terrain.

- Reliable drivetrain and brakes: equipped with a SRAM Apex 1 single-plate groupset and hydraulic disc brakes, the RAG+1 guarantees performance and control, at a very competitive price.

Nervous geometry, designed for fun.

The RAG+1 stands out for its aggressive, dynamic geometry:

- Short chainstays and short wheelbase for optimum handling.

- A hollow seat tube leaves space for the rear wheel, but prevents the installation of a front derailleur.

- Hydroformed 6061 triple-butted aluminum frame for lightness and strength.

- All-carbon fork for greater flexibility and precision.

Extreme wheel versatility.

The RAG+1 comes with 700c wheels fitted with 44 mm Vittoria Mezcal III tires, perfect for mixed use. But you can also :

- Upgrade to thinner tires for better road performance.

- Or fit 27.5“ wheels with tires up to 2.2” for mountain-bike-style use, thanks to asymmetrical chainstays designed for mud and greasy terrain.

Transmission designed for climbing.

With a 42-tooth chainring and 11-42 cassette, you benefit from a 1:1 ratio ideal for the most technical climbs, or even for “climbing trees”, as they say!

Powerful, precise braking.

SRAM Apex 1 disc brakes with 160 mm discs ensure progressive, efficient braking, whatever the weather.
