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

The Nukeproof Mega is officially the fastest Enduro bike in the world but can the Nukeproof Mega 290 Expert take pole position at this tough price point?
Balanced performance that everyone will enjoy
Total confidence on the hardest tracks
Great no-nonsense build kit
No room for a bottle cage

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 has done an amazing job with the new Nukeproof Mega 275 Comp. The geometry and sizing are on point, the specification is on the money.
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.
