Feb 2019 · Christoph Bayer

The Nukeproof Mega 275C is synonymous with balanced handling, laying down a convincing performance in our group test.

Highs
  • Excellent cornering capabilities

  • Great suspension

  • Good spec at a fair price

Lows
  • No space for a water bottle in the front triangle

Tested: Nukeproof Mega 290 Pro

Sep 2018

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 Mega 290 Factory first ride review

Aug 2018 · Seb Stott

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.

Nukeproof Mega 275C RS - Review

May 2018 · Mike Kazimer

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?

Highs
  • Fast and stable, but also able to handle slower speeds.

  • Excellent suspension performance.

  • DoubleDown tires as standard equipment.

Lows
  • 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

Nukeproof Mega 275 Factory (2018) first ride - MBR

Dec 2017 · Alan Muldoon

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.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • 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.
