Bottom Bracket 2.0
Our new generation of bottom brackets is what we had in mind from the beginning, but not everything was possible three years ago. We are proud to present today the new version of our bottom brackets integrating new ceramic bearings and double anodization.
A completely redesigned aesthetic. Two-tone finishes for a subtle harmony with your bike.
Thanks to the feedback from the pros accumulated over the last few years. We have made a number of adjustments leading to the most accomplished collection of products ever offered by Nova Ride to this date.
These new features make Nova Ride bottom brackets an excellent choice for cyclists looking for performance gain and durability.
Built to last. Built to be fast.
Double anodizing
Double anodizing is a complex process for obtaining two distinct colors on an aluminum part.
This method requires a series of precise steps: a first anodizing bath for uniform coloring, targeted machining to expose the part to be colored differently. Then a second anodizing bath to obtain the second color.
This technique is not very widespread due to the many treatments and controls it involves. It allows us to offer you high-end finishes.
Optimizations
By combining digital simulations, feedback and physical tests, we identified optimization opportunities that allowed us to make our bowls lighter and more aesthetic.

When sustainability meets efficiency.
Proven on our test benches within our test laboratory, our bearings have been subjected to series of stress and impact tests.
The test benches used are custom-developed in-house to meet our design and durability requirements. These requirements put our components to the test on shock resistance, fatigue and target stresses.
All these tests are highlighted with intensive and diverse field uses in order to guarantee the best efficiency and durability for each of our customers.

Our 29 models have been redesigned from scratch, allowing for extensive optimization of each of them.
Test and improve through our test lab and intensive field use.
Double anodization for two-tone finishes that match your bike.
Added BB-RIGHT ceramic bottom brackets compatible mainly with Cervélo bikes.
Weight reduction on each model without compromising durability.
Unlike the first generation of Nova Ride bottom brackets, the second generation models are compatible with Quarq power meter cranksets.
Unlike the first generation, both of these models now come with an internal sealing solution to protect your bottom bracket from dirt that can get inside your frame.
Internal seal redesigned for better cable routing.
