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

DH Bike Review: Nukeproof's Dissent 297 is a Versatile Park Shredder

Mar 2023 · Matt Beer

Nukeproof has put together a versatile downhill bike for racers and bike park shredders alike. The adjustable progression and chainstay length should let just about any rider have a blast on the Dissent 297, provided they prefer a smaller-fitting bike.

Highs
  • Frame versatility works for racers and park rats alike

  • Intuitive to ride

  • A smart blend of comfort and control

Lows
  • Sizing limits taller riders: XL = 480mm reach

  • Some riders may look for more support from the suspension

  • Brakes fall short of the build kit

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
