KEM

Nich KEM: Ride Bold. Ride Thai.

The Spirit of the Name

In the world of cycling, KOM stands for King of the Mountain—a title earned through sheer effort. But KEM is different. It’s more than just a sound-alike.  

In Thai, “เข้ม” (KEM) means strong, bold, and quietly confident—the kind of person who commands respect with calm energy. It embodies authenticity, inner strength, and character.  

KEM fuses the passion of cycling with the soul of Thai identity—a name that speaks to strength, not just in performance, but in presence. 

Concept Design: Strong, Smart, and Adventure-Ready

KEM is Nich’s first gravel frame, crafted from aluminum and built for real-world adventure, not just racing. It’s lightweight, durable, and designed for cyclists who already ride road or mountain bikes and want to explore new terrain without jumping to carbon just yet.  

Gravel represents a fresh path in cycling—and KEM is your gateway to it.    

Why Aluminum? Why Now?

Because gravel isn’t just about speed—it’s about freedom. KEM is designed to be:  
– Affordable and accessible as a second or third bike  
– Stronger and easier to travel with than fragile carbon  
– Smooth and stable enough for all-day rides on mixed terrain  

Its frame is crafted from a blend of 6061 and 6066 aluminum, delivering an excellent ride feel and lasting durability. Paired with a full carbon Toray T700 fork, KEM strikes a perfect balance of comfort, weight, and strength.

Built for Everything — Not Just One Ride

KEM isn’t a race-only machine. It’s engineered to handle:  

  • Fast gravel rides 
  • Long-distance touring  
  • Daily commutes  
  • Cross-country exploration  
  • Jungle and off-road routes  

It’s not a full bikepacking rig—there are no fork rack mounts—but it offers everything most riders need to hit the road (or trail) with gear. 

Adventure-Ready Features:

  • Tire clearance: Up to 50mm  
  • Three bottle cage mounts  
  • Multiple frame mounts for bags, racks, and mudguards  
  • Long top tube design for large handlebar or top tube bags  
  • Rear rack mounts for panniers or light cargo  
  • Oversized headset to reduce front-end impact and fatigue
    on long rides  
  • High bottom bracket for better clearance over rocks and
    roots  
  • Internal cable routing, compatible with mechanical and
    electronic drivetrains  
  • BSA threaded bottom bracket for easy maintenance
    anywhere in the world  

Ride Feel: A Truck with Speed

Feedback from our riders says it best:  
It feels like driving a truck—solid, smooth, and strong—but with real speed.

KEM may be aluminum, but it rides with confidence and flow. Its geometry blends the stability and vibration absorption of a mountain bike with the responsiveness of a road bike. Whether you’re crossing borders or cruising backyard trails, KEM adapts to every journey.

 
Who is KEM For?
KEM is for:  

  • Road cyclists curious about gravel 
  • MTB riders seeking something faster and lighter  
  • Tourers and travelers who demand reliability  
  • Riders who value the journey over the podium  

It’s not the bike to win a race—it’s the bike that keeps going long after the race is over.
