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.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazinePerformance doesn’t have to come with a price and Nukeproof proves that with their Mega 290 Pro.

The new Nukeproof Mega 290C Factory is part of range that gets a travel boost, carbon models and Sam Hill-honed geometry.
Calm and composed at all speeds
Michelin tyres not ideal in all conditions

There was no need to really shunt the seat forwards to achieve a good position or adopt an obscure setup quirk to make the bike feel right..
A fast, stable and predictable bike
Solid and dependable spec for the price
Racing pedigree, if you’re into that
Needs to be up to speed to bring it alive
Water bottle in the firing line if you choose to run one

The Nukeproof Mega 275C is synonymous with balanced handling, laying down a convincing performance in our group test.
Excellent cornering capabilities
Great suspension
Good spec at a fair price
No space for a water bottle in the front triangle

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.

This meant, at 6ft 3in, I found the stock ride position too low and stretched out, making it hard to get my weight back on steep descents.

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