Van Nicholas Chinook Titanium Track Bike
USAGE
The Van Nicholas Chinook is designed for riders seeking the ultimate performance solution. Ideal if you’re looking to be competitive in Track events, it delivers incredible acceleration and stunning value.
DESIGN
The Chinook Track is a high-spec track frame that features traditional round tube construction and classic dimensions. The Chinook’s geometry has been designed to deliver maximum sprint performance and precision handling. The frame has the same features as its road cousin but with an oversized down tube and H-Bridge chain stay system for added stiffness.
MATERIAL
Full 3Al/2.5V Ti construction using aerospace-grade, cold-worked, tapered and size-specific round tubing with CNC machined detailing. Available in 53, 56, 59cm & Tailormade.
Lifetime Frame Warranty
Titanium won’t rust, corrode or break down. We are extremely proud of our products. This is why we guarantee our frames for life
Crash Replacement Warranty
If a Van Nicholas Titanium frame is damaged in an accident not covered by our manufacturer warranty, we will provide a replacement frame for 50% of the current value.
Warranty Re-Certification
Consumers wanting to sell or purchase a used van Nicholas Titanium bicycle or frame can send it directly to our office for Re-Certification and the issue of a new manufacturer’s warranty.
Hand Brushed Finish
We think the best way to showcase our Titanium frames it is to hand brush them to bring out the natural brightness
Van Nicholas Seamless Optiformed Ti Tubing
To ensure a perfect bike fit, we automatically adjust the tubing for bigger frame sizes.
Engraved Head Tube Logo
We etch our classic logo directly onto the head tube, so everyone will know the bike you’re riding is a Van Nicholas.
H-bridge
Placing an H-shaped bridge between the chain stays increases frame stiffness in one of the areas where you need it most.
Internal Cable Routing
Internal cable routing helps to reduce drag and keeps the lines of our frames simple, elegant, clean and aero-optimised.
3D Sculpted Dropouts
We designed our dropout from every angle to ensure maximum efficiency at one of the highest-strain contact points of the frame.
Fixed Gear
No fuss, low maintenance, pedalling efficiency. One gear for the die-hard purist.
