Lifetime Frame Warranty


Titanium won’t rust, corrode, or break down. We are extremely proud of our products. This is why we guarantee our frames for life.

Engraved Head Tube Logo


We etch our classic logo directly onto the head tube, so your grandchildren will know the frame you pass down to them is a Van Nicholas.

Size Specific Frame Tubing


To ensure your bike will fit you for life, we automatically adjust the tubing sizes of the frame to the specifications of your body.

Brushed Finish Sculpted by hand


We think the best way to showcase our Titanium frames is to hand brush them to bring out the natural brightness.

80-100 mm Corrected Suspension


Frame optimised for a shorter travel fork, designed for regular trail and single-track riding.

  Zion 29"  February | 2012

It’s not easy to pigeonhole the Zion 29er, and to try and do so would be unfair. So we’re just going to say that anyone wanting a fast and responsive bike for trail riding and wanting to experience the thrill of a rigid mountain bike, should consider the Zion.

‘Dat niet iedereen 29er rijdt’, zegt Bart Schijf. Deze fietsfanaat uit het West-Brabantse Willemstad weet het na een aantal meerdaagse marathons zeker: na de Van Nicholas Zion 29er is er geen weg meer terug naar kleine wielen.

Der Zion ist ein klassischer Titan-Rahmen – mit klassischem Steuersatz, Schellenumwerfer und wunderschön geschwungenen S-Bend-Sitzund Kettenstreben. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail designen die Holländer ihre Rahmen.
