The Ion ST is the successor to the now legendary M-Pire ST. (2004 to 2007 – R.I.P.) As with it’s precursor, the Ion ST is one of the most race-orientated derailleur downhill frame within the Nicolai product range. The Ion has got a less progressive suspension than the M-Pire so the total amount of usable rear travel is enhanced. Due to it’s 4 bar design the Ion is also less susceptible to drive and brake effects than the M-Pire, and lighter weight means it is obviously easier to a accelerate. By using a 83 mm bottom bracket width and a 150 x 12 mm rear thru-axle this is a super stiff frame with plenty of clearance for your feet.
