Here's what Nicolai say about this frame...

Single-trails are surely some of the very best mountain biking terrain there is. The narrow paths carving through the hillsides, rocky ridges with sheer drops left and right and wild river canyons take a lot of beating. To get every ounce out of single-trails, you need a bike which is agile, light and responsive, but at the same time has ample travel with plenty in reserves for the jumps and edges. Tied into this, the bike must have the wherewithal of downhill geometry.

Well…meet the Helius AC. The AC fits the bill perfectly. The compact frame delivers honest handling whilst the 146mm of rear travel works in harmony with the new generation of 150mm trail forks. Being even as light as the CC, the Helius AC is ideally suited to both epic rides and short blasts of endorphin fixing in the evenings when you’ve knocked off work for the day.
