Despite some decent parts, the Nucleus has a disappointingly stiff and XC-biased ride
Shimano Deore-based drivetrain works well
Good grip from tyres in most conditions
Geometry compromises all aspects of performance
Fork suffers from stiction
Stiff-feeling ride

Ride quality and build kit belie its price tag
Still no clutch mech to help keep the chain on
