Nicolai Ion-G13 29" Frame – bc Limited Edition

The ION-G13 shows that the GEOLUTION geometry works on trail bikes with 29-inch tyres too. Whether you go for a multi-day alpine tour or only for a short, fast time at your local trail, the ION-G13 makes both up and down quicker. Steep climbing with “old school” geometry bikes tends to lift the front wheel, not so with the ION-G13. Due to the seat tube angle and the central seating position your front wheel will stay on the ground and the climb will be clean and controlled.
On all the new G-models the four-bar system is now fully equipped with quadruple sealed, ball bearings. The dropouts and linkage rocker have been completely redesigned and optimized in terms of weight and stiffness. The new design swingarm is now stiffer and lighter and the suspension has an extremely fine, small bump response.
