Excellent suspension performance
Balanced handling and stability
Competitive pricing and good value
Durable build quality
Aggressive geometry for enduro riding
Limited climbing efficiency
Cramped cockpit for some riders
Front end wanders on steep climbs
No water bottle mounts inside front triangle
Extra weight affects performance
The alloy frame and thin-profile tubes gave the Mega 290 some lateral flex. It made it feel not just lively, but uniquely alive, especially compared to sometimes dead-feeling burly carbon bikes.
BIKE MagazineThe Nukeproof Mega 275C RS shines in any terrain thanks to its balanced handling, excellent suspension and sophisticated features.

The latest Mega received multiple updates, and now has the ability to carry a water bottle in the right place.

Good things made even better – the new Nukeproof Mega 290C Pro is the logical evolution of its aluminium predecessor. It's so good that it's been Sam Hill's bike of choice for the 2019 EWS. But how does it fare against the competition?
Easy to ride fast
Very balanced
Excellent suspension
Cumbersome in certain situations
No bottle mount in the front triangle

The combination of the race tuned geometry, floaty suspension and functional build kit, makes the Nukeproof Mega 275c Pro an extremely capable bike.
Aggressive riding position
Michelin front tyre undermines confidence

Nukeproof announced a refresh of its signature Nukeproof Mega 275 bike series and added to its growing list of components with a unique foam tire insert and lightweight steel shock spring. - Mtbr.com

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.

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
