[hayleyearth]

not sure... don't think so because of the Crossmax wheels... or does Mavic now make those in 650B?!

I was recently tempted by one of these. I had to do some serious rationalizing in order to talk myself out of it

That is a great vid. Glad I'm not the only one that waves a foot out.

[NicoBoshoff]

Looks good and it almost has normal wheels. Doubt you'll find one for sale here though.

There's no wheel size discrimination here - just needs to be an Enduro bike.

Nice hardtail option from Nicolai

 

EDIT: Looks like moving rear dropout = Singlespeed option

If they can make a 6" version of this, Im sold!!! Damn this is so neat!!

 

Can Imagine this will be as silent as a Single speed and excellent shifting and no noise!! Perfection according to me:)

 

Keep your XX1, This is the future, cant think bikes will carry on with derailleurs against this.

Whyte G-150 650b enduro bike

The venerable Whyte 146 long-travel trail bike has been put out to pasture for 2014. In its place is the enduro focused G-150, which moves to a more traditional Horst-style, four-bar linkage instead of the virtual Quad-Link II. There’s a slight bump in rear wheel travel, so you get 150mm front and rear, but the biggest change is the move to 650b (27.5in) wheels.

 

Two models will be available – an entry G-150 (£2,499) with SRAM X7/X9 2x10 drivetrain, RockShox Pike RC fork and Monarch RT3 shock, and the top-spec G-150 Works (£3,999) with single ring SRAM X01 11-speed drivetrain paired to a Fox 34 Factory fork and Float X rear shock. Both bikes come equipped with internally routed RockShox Reverb dropper posts as standard.

In keeping with Whyte’s geometry philosophy, the bikes use short 425mm (16.3in) chainstays paired to a slack 67-degree head angle and long top tube – 613mm (24.1in) for the medium frame size. The Quad-Link IV system found on the 29er bikes has been tweaked slightly to suit the longer-travel application, with a more linear shock rate that aims to give a plusher feel.

M. I've seen a Nicolai in real life and it looked like it was made from a recycled Land Rover.

 

Gearboxes will never gain popularity cos they are heavy and expensive and the current crop of derailleurs are pretty good. Especially with the clutch systems.

Exactly why I like Nicolai, haha

 

Had a gearbox in My GT-IT1, was awesome, but yes heavy. This one however looks like it can be the one.. and gearboxes can give a few times more miles than derailleurs when well looked after.
