Nicolai home visit: Nicolai Maschinenbau is a name that is an integral part of German downhill bike manufacturing (downhill, enduro, trail). Milling, welding and powder coating have been carried out in Lower Saxony for 28 years now. That is what has not changed. What has changed in recent years, however, is a lot: new location, new approaches, new tubes, new geometries. And 3D printing has also found its way into Nicolai. We drove out into the country and took a closer look at how the bikes are actually built. Here is the home visit to Nicolai.
