The event begins on Friday with a dealer day, with technology workshops and presentations for Nicolai dealers and those who are interested in becoming one. In particular, Nicolai would like to address dealers who have little or no experience with the brand and invite them to get to know the company. Saturday and Sunday will then be the actual Summer Festival, to which all interested people are warmly invited. Entry is free and no prior registration is required. However, if you would like to try out a particular bike model, you should definitely reserve it in advance via the link under the program topic „Testival“.

Dealers Day
The event starts on Friday, 1.9. with an exclusive dealer day. It does not matter whether you are already registered as a dealer or just want to have a look. The program on Friday includes the presentation of the 2023 Nicolai model range, presentations and technical workshops on Nicolai and Gates Carbon Drive products, a guided tour through the production with Karl Nicolai and plenty of time for face-to-face conversations and questions.

Test Track Opening
Right next to the Nicolai factory, Joscha Forstreuter and his company Tracks and Trails have moved hundreds of cubic meters of earth in recent weeks and created a premium test track on 10,000 m2. 400 meters of MTB trail with branches into technical sections, North Shore elements, natural trail, table line, wall rides and rock gardens. A pump track is also part of the facility, as well as a 270 meter long e-motocross track in the infield. A few more cosmetic touches and we‘ll celebrate the big day together with you.

New 2023 models

At the summer festival you can experience all the novelties live. Nicolai will present the entire 2023 line-up at the event. In addition to the familiar custom bikes, the new 2023 series bikes with set standard configurations will also be presented for the first time.

Open production
Nicolai reveal their entire production and show you the complete manufacturing process of a mountain bike, from the raw aluminum block or extruded profile to the finished coated frame. Get to know the people behind the brand on a personally guided tour by Karl Nicolai and look over their shoulder as they work. NICOLAI History At the showroom, a unique exhibition awaits you, which presents the history of the brand over the last 27 years. From the Trombone, with which everything began in 1996, to prototypes, oneoffs and legendary team bikes of Nicolai athletes – even die-hard fans of the brand will discover something new here.

Meet and Greet
Delicious catering from local producers and tech talk among like-minded people: At the workyard, you can always get your fill of coffee and cake, something savory, cold refreshments and beer. This is where the experts and those who want to become such meet to exchange their ideas with each other and with the Nicolai crew.
