Nicolai Ion G15 29" Frame

The G15 is the big brother of the well-known G13 and comes with 145 mm rear travel. The four-joint kinematics on all G models are now fully equipped with 4-fold sealed bearings that offer extremely fine response characteristics. The GEOMETRON geometry of the bike also ensures a very comfortable sitting position that activates muscles in the back. Even long tours can become a fun event.
