Nicolai have been hand crafting their custom aluminium frames for years now and the Ion 16 was the starting point for this bike, a frame with 160mm of rear wheel travel and running on 27.5”/650B wheels. With the Mojo team working closely with Nicolai and using their experience with Fox suspension, they created the G16/Geometron. With the Mojo sizing, geometry and suspension tune, this frame has 155/175mm of rear wheel travel (depending on rear shock) and sits between the G13 29er and the G19 DH frame in the range.

‘The Geometron’s strength is very much on descending with a long and low chassis, as well offering incredibly stable climbing’

With a head angle of between 62 and 63.5 degrees, depending on fork choice, and a ‘low as they dare’ bottom bracket height of around 340mm, these figures certainly are outside the boundaries of even the most up to date enduro bikes. But that’s just the start of their thinking. Mojo added much more length into the frame, giving better pedalling position over the cranks when climbing and allowing a roomy reach when paired with a sub 50mm stem. A very steep seat tube angle works with both the frame’s sizing and the Nicolai suspension design to give both better climbing balance and traction. The overall centre of gravity, of rider and bike, is further forward, giving better traction at the front wheel in all cornering situations. The result really is a bike that is not just capable in all descending situations (as you would expect with a modern long travel bike) but climbs with great authority too. The sizing, for those riders struggling to find a bike long enough, is a game changer too.
