Go ride your bike. Then go share the love.
Novara is all about sharing the love of riding. We build bikes for all types of riders, help them keep those
cycles in tip-top shape in REI bike shops, and offer friendly advice along the way. We also make gear and
accessories that make riding more fun, as well as a full line of bikes and accessories for kids.
Last year Novara and REI shared the love by giving $588,000 to 69 different programs nationwide—it’s part
of our master plan to promote cycling and preserve outdoor places to enjoy on your bike. That included
Bicycle Friendly Community Grants for five U.S. cities, a program co-supported by Bikes Belong and the
League of American Bicyclists. Novara and REI joyfully support these and other bike-centric efforts.
Wanna join the fun? We partnered with Volunteer Match to help you find bike-related service projects in
your neighborhood. Go to www.rei.com/volunteer to find out more. Also, check out www.imba.com.

Somehow the world always seems
different when you hop on a bike.
Your focus shifts. Worries fade. Air feels crisper. Details are more vivid.
You see, hear and smell everything around you. That’s the
simple joy of riding. And sharing that joy is the reason
we make Novara bikes.
Ride one and see how it feels.

NEW NOVARA N-FIT MAKES BIKE SIZING SIMPLE
Our revolutionary new size system is Novara N-Fit.
Instead of measuring inseam lengths, consulting geometry
charts and calculating standover height, all you need to
know is your height.
n-fit is adjustable
“Tweener” heights can go up or down a size, depending
on your riding preference and riding style. And Novara
bikes’ adjustable steering components mean our master
techs can fine-tune fit if you fall between sizes or have an
unusual “human geometry,” like long or short legs.
N-Fit size IS THE SAME FOR ANY BIKE
N-Fit offers riders consistent sizing. If you’re a size M in a
road bike, you’re also a size M in an urban bike and a size
M in a mountain bike. The Novara design team crunched
the numbers to ensure the fit is right, no matter what type
of bike you plan to ride.
n-fit is gender-specific
Novara women’s bike frames are shaped to fit females, and
components are spec’ed with women in mind. That’s why
we have different N-Fit size stickers for each gender. N-Fit
keeps things simple, though, by using the same height
ranges for unisex and women’s S, M and L sizes.

Go ride your bike. Then go share the love.
Novara is all about sharing the love of riding. We build bikes for all types of riders, help them keep those
cycles in tip-top shape in REI bike shops, and offer friendly advice along the way. We also make gear and
accessories that make riding more fun, as well as a full line of bikes and accessories for kids.
Last year Novara and REI shared the love by giving $588,000 to 69 different programs nationwide—it’s part
of our master plan to promote cycling and preserve outdoor places to enjoy on your bike. That included
Bicycle Friendly Community Grants for five U.S. cities, a program co-supported by Bikes Belong and the
League of American Bicyclists. Novara and REI joyfully support these and other bike-centric efforts.
Wanna join the fun? We partnered with Volunteer Match to help you find bike-related service projects in
your neighborhood. Go to www.rei.com/volunteer to find out more. Also, check out www.imba.com.
