Overview
The NICOLAI S14 SWIFT HRZ (€11,999) is the top build of the S14 SWIFT: Bosch Performance Line SX with 400 Wh, Fox 36 Factory Grip2 160 mm fork, Fox Float X shock, SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission and Hope Tech 4 E4 brakes.
The S14 SWIFT is NICOLAI's light e-MTB: a hand-welded 7020-T6 aluminium 29er trail bike that takes the geometry and suspension layout of the non-assisted S14 (150 mm fork, 130 mm Horst-link rear) and adds the Bosch Performance Line SX motor (60 Nm and 400 % assist since the Bosch 2026 performance update, up to 600 W) with a removable 400 Wh PowerTube battery.
Geometry follows NICOLAI's Geolution Trail concept: 480 mm reach and 64.8° head angle in size M, 76.5° seat angle, 452 mm chainstays, five sizes S–XXL. The battery is swapped tool-free through a hatch under the motor, a 250 Wh Range Extender fits on the down tube, and a Purion 200 remote handles the Bosch Smart System. Three builds (HLS, TNS, HRZ) are offered; components can be changed in the online configurator.
