This is a weird bike, and not because its name once belonged to a Midwest mid-nineties carbon and titanium component manufacturer. It’s weird because it combines forgiving geometry with unforgiving suspension… and it actually kinda works.

Nukeproof added a carbon front triangle with minor geometry updates to the latest Mega chassis, does that translate into an EWS-capable ride for the average pilot?
Fast and stable, but also able to handle slower speeds.
Excellent suspension performance.
DoubleDown tires as standard equipment.
You still won't be able to ride like Sam Hill.
No water bottle mounts inside front triangle.
Lighter riders may need different rebound tune

A great bike with superb tyres and incredible damping. Sizing won't suit everyone though and there's too much flex in the wheels. Buy if you’re in the market for a seriously well-mannered enduro bike that can be raced at the highest level straight off the shop floor
Great suspension that offers confidence and comfort when it counts
Geometry is great in the larger sizes
Dependable tyres that'll grip well and stave off punctures
Powerful, easy to control brakes
Medium frame feels like it could be longer
Wheels feel flexy when pushed hard

There’s a tightness to the Nukeproof Mega 275 Factory that makes it easy to pick a line and stick to it. Confident hitting tracks flat out from the get go.
Great geometry and handling, Comprehensive size range. Race-ready specification with Double Down casing Maxxis tyres. Fox Factory suspension brings next level performance at a seriously competitive price point.
Fox Float X2 shock requires patience when setting it up to bet the maximum performance gains. Slimline padding on the Nukeproof saddle leaves nowhere to hide on longer rides. Shimano's gear range isn't as comprehensive as the SRAM RS build.

Sam Hill is superhuman! He not only secured the overall victory of the Enduro World Series on the brand-new Nukeproof Mega 275 RS.

The Loam Wolf puts Nukeproof's Mega 290 to the test. One of the top bikes for the dollar with such a solid build and suspension set-up.
