Nukeproof Dissent 297 RS review

Nov 2023 · Luke Marshall

The Dissent Carbon 297 RS is wildly capable, but needs to be ridden hard to get the best from it

Highs
  • Competitive price compared to rivals

  • Good beginning and end-stroke feel

Lows
  • Low slack height might mean riders need more headset spacers

  • Feels lethargic at slower speeds

2022 Nukeproof Dissent 290 RS Bike

Sep 2022 · Jason_Schroeder

The Dissent 290 is a race-ready, low-maintenance downhill bike with multiple points of adjustability points and exceptional stability that breeds confidence in rough sections.

Highs
  • Exceptional composure and stability at speed and through rough sections promote a plowing mentality

  • Race-ready build kit

  • Robust frame

  • Remains neutral and balanced through corners

Lows
  • Limited maneuverability in tight sections

  • The size and weight of the bike can become cumbersome on flat sections or flow trails

  • Code R brakes
