Nukeproof Mega 290 Elite Carbon review

Apr 2020 · Robin Weaver

The Mega 290 Elite is a serious big hitter and isn’t afraid of flattening anything that’s in its path

Highs
  • Great kit for the money

  • Plenty of high-speed stability and confidence

  • Easy going, really comfortable ride in rough terrain

Lows
  • Not a particularly efficient pedaller

  • Rear suspension not as supportive as some

Dec 2019 · Alan Muldoon

The combination of the race tuned geometry, floaty suspension and functional build kit, makes the Nukeproof Mega 275c Pro an extremely capable bike.

Highs
  • Aggressive riding position

Lows
  • Michelin front tyre undermines confidence

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

BIKE Magazine
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 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
