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?

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

Great geometry, sizing and handling.
Slight harshness to the ride.

Mega by name, Mega by nature. Another idiotproof enduro offering from Nukeproof, and Rob gives us his verdict.

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.
