Summary
The Nukeproof Mega series is celebrated for its modern geometry, balanced handling, and solid suspension performance, making it a strong contender in the enduro category. While it excels in descending and offers a unique ride experience, some reviews note limitations in high-speed stability and climbing efficiency. The bike's value and component spec are frequently praised, though some riders may find the alloy frame's flex and the suspension's behavior under power less than ideal.

The Nukeproof Mega 290 Pro doesn’t swallow high-speed hits as well as bigger big-wheeled bikes, but it encourages you to get off the ground and avoid them altogether.
BIKE MagazineThe Mega 290 is extremely fast and super fun at the same time – it’s a mystery to us why Sam doesn’t ride it in the EWS.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe Mega is ready to rally right out of the box, with a well-sorted parts spec and up-to-date geometry.Pinkbike

Nukeproof announced a refresh of its signature Nukeproof Mega 275 bike series and added to its growing list of components with a unique foam tire insert and lightweight steel shock spring. - Mtbr.com

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 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?
Fast and stable, but also able to handle slower speeds.
Excellent suspension performance.
DoubleDown tires as standard equipment.
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

A great bike with superb tyres and incredible damping. Sizing won't suit everyone though and there's too much flex in the wheels. Buy if you’re in the market for a seriously well-mannered enduro bike that can be raced at the highest level straight off the shop floor
Great suspension that offers confidence and comfort when it counts
Geometry is great in the larger sizes
Dependable tyres that'll grip well and stave off punctures
Powerful, easy to control brakes
Medium frame feels like it could be longer
Wheels feel flexy when pushed hard

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.

Sam Hill is superhuman! He not only secured the overall victory of the Enduro World Series on the brand-new Nukeproof Mega 275 RS.

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.

Nukeproof's Mega 290 is again a pick in the 2017 Dirt 100 - a great value, big wheeled enduro or all-mountain bike.
