Product news: Diamant is expanding its gravel bike range for the 2026 model year with the Nhoma Plus, adding another equipment variant. The manufacturer classifies the model as an "equipped gravel bike," positioning it between sporty riding dynamics, comprehensive everyday equipment, and touring-ready versatility. Going forward, the series will consist of two versions: the new Nhoma Plus and the Nhoma Pro, which remains in the lineup with its existing equipment.
Gravel concept with strong everyday relevance
Diamant presents the Nhoma primarily as a bicycle for users seeking a sportier concept than a classic trekking bike, while still embracing practical features. Accordingly, the bike is designed from the outset not only for leisure and weekend rides, but also for daily commutes, errands, and multi-day trips. On the product page, the manufacturer explicitly emphasizes its focus on everyday use and long-distance travel.
New for 2026 is the division of the platform into two models. The Nhoma Plus is introduced as a price-conscious variant, while the existing Nhoma continues under the name Nhoma Pro. The Pro's components remain unchanged compared to 2025. The Diamant Nhoma Plus is thus intended to facilitate entry into the equipped gravel segment without altering the fundamental concept of the series.
Full factory equipment
A key feature of the Nhoma concept is its extensive standard equipment. Mudguards, a luggage rack, lights, and a kickstand are all included as standard. This sets the model apart from many classic gravel bikes, which typically only become suitable for everyday use or touring after additional modifications. Diamant is clearly focusing on a concept that bridges the gap between a sporty bicycle and a fully-fledged everyday bike.
Drop bar, dynamics and variable seating position
Like the Nhoma Pro, the Nhoma Plus is also equipped with drop handlebars. According to the manufacturer, this allows for variable, sporty riding positions and gives the bike a more dynamic feel. This clearly places the Nhoma in the gravel segment, even though its components are significantly more focused on practicality than those of purely sport-oriented models.
Frame platform with Mahon kinship
The placement of the Nhoma and Mahon within the Diamant portfolio is technically interesting: according to the manufacturer, they utilize the same frame platform. However, while the Mahon is described as a flat-bar concept with an active, comfort-oriented design, the Nhoma interprets this platform in a sportier way, consistently using drop handlebars. Diamant thus considers both series to be closely related, but tailored for different purposes.
Shimano CUES for the Nhoma Plus
For the drivetrain, Diamant equips the Nhoma Plus with a 1x11 derailleur system from the Shimano CUES group. In the press materials, it is described as a gravel-specific and robust solution, aimed particularly at beginners and users seeking a durable and low-maintenance setup. The Nhoma Pro, on the other hand, features a 1x12 drivetrain from the Shimano GRX group.
Lighting and brakes for everyday use
Diamant also differentiates between the two models in terms of their lighting systems. The Nhoma Plus is equipped with Herrmans lighting, while the Nhoma Pro uses a combination of a Supernova front light and a Spanninga rear light. According to the manufacturer, both models feature dynamo-powered front and rear lights, as well as a standlight function on the rear light. Diamant also specifies Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for the Nhoma Plus.
Clever rack and high transport functionality
A key feature of the model is the standard Clever Rack luggage carrier. According to Diamant, it is MIK-compatible, designed for a low center of gravity, and approved for a load of up to 25 kilograms. Numerous mounting points for accessories further enhance its transport-oriented design. This clearly positions the Nhoma not only for commuters but also for users who want to securely integrate bags, dry bags, or other luggage.
Plenty of attachment points for bikepacking and everyday use
The versatility of the Diamant frame is particularly evident when it comes to accessories. According to the manufacturer, the frame features five pairs of eyelets: two on the top tube, one on the seat tube, and two on the down tube. Additional mounting points are available on both sides of the rigid fork. These include options for bottle cages, frame bags, dry bags, locks, and other accessories. This makes the Diamant appealing to both everyday riders and bikepackers.
Ample tire clearance
For use on varying surfaces, Diamant offers a comparatively generous tire clearance. According to the manufacturer, the aluminum fork allows tires up to 29 x 2.0 inches or 27.5 x 2.6 inches. The technical FAQs also specify compatibility with 50-622 or 65-584 tires. This design underscores the bike's suitability not only for asphalt, but also for gravel, rough roads, and longer journeys.
Weight, system load and sizes
Diamant lists the weight of the Nhoma as 14,4 kilograms. The manufacturer specifies a maximum permissible weight of 136 kilograms for the bicycle, rider, and cargo. The model is offered in sizes M, L, XL, and XXL, each in the Stepover version. These specifications do not classify the Nhoma as a particularly lightweight race gravel bike, but rather as a robust, fully equipped platform for versatile use.
Clear positioning beyond the racing segment
Diamant's positioning is unusually open: the Nhoma is not intended for competitive use in gravel races, but should function without modifications for both daily commuting and longer journeys. This is precisely the platform's focus. The bike occupies a segment where sporty looks and riding position are combined with genuine practicality.
Diamant lists a price of €1.699 for the Nhoma Plus. The Nhoma Pro is priced at €1.999 It costs 300 euros more. This is intended to make the new Plus model a more accessible variant within the series, without sacrificing the basic idea of a fully equipped gravel bike.
With the Nhoma Plus, Diamant expands its Nhoma family to encompass a broader range of uses. The model combines a drop-bar design, full equipment, transport options, and generous tire clearance into a bike that focuses less on sporty specialization and more on everyday use, travel, and flexible riding. In essence, the bike occupies a segment positioned between a classic trekking bike and a purist gravel bike.
