Nicolai Saturn 14: Trail bike "made in Germany" on test
For Kalle Nicolai, a bike is more than just a piece of sports equipment. It is a life partner that you can grow old with. He manufactures in Germany because no-one else produces such beautiful welds as he does.
Even after 25 years, the combination of simple round tubes and angular rear triangle attracts attention like a bird of paradise. And rightly so: because the Nicolai Saturn 14 doesn't just stand out visually. Because Nicolai mountain bikes are customised, any wheel size or combination is possible. Our test bike rolls into the editorial office with a 27.5-inch rear wheel and a 29-inch front wheel.
