Heroic It was only one but then over the years the heroics have become many around the world, from the lands of Chianti to those of Prosecco al Gran Sasso to the Crete Senesi, also looking for a new path. “Nova” to be precise, where the streets remain white and dirt road, where the vehicle changes but not the substance. We go with the Gravel to know a world that brings cycling to the origin and brings together all the souls of a sport that recognizes and respects its history and the taste of sharing effort and passion without too much haste, too much frenzy, too much competition. “Race, laughs, relaxation” It is the motto of this new way of pedaling, of being in the saddle, to passionate and share and in a few years, Heroic Nova It has become a point of reference for all fans of this world.
