Alongside the NICOLAI ION-G13 QLFLINE, all other bikes in this comparison look like children’s bikes. The enormous wheelbase and the industrial feel give it a very radical look. But if you think this extreme bike is only for pros, you’re wrong!

The Nicolai Ion is Chris Porter's latest crazy contraption that comes complete with a gearbox, belt drive and radical geometry
Finally a frame that fits large humans; hugely capable geometry; suspension that’s much improved by the reduction in unsprung weight; virtually maintenance-free drivetrain.
Can’t shift under load; can’t shift and brake at the same time; significant weight penalty over a regular drivetrain; expensive.

It's still a big bike, but it's the right size big bike. So don’t be scared.
