Excellent suspension performance
Balanced handling and stability
Competitive pricing and good value
Durable build quality
Aggressive geometry for enduro riding
Limited climbing efficiency
Cramped cockpit for some riders
Front end wanders on steep climbs
No water bottle mounts inside front triangle
Extra weight affects performance
The alloy frame and thin-profile tubes gave the Mega 290 some lateral flex. It made it feel not just lively, but uniquely alive, especially compared to sometimes dead-feeling burly carbon bikes.
BIKE MagazineThe Nukeproof Mega 275C RS shines in any terrain thanks to its balanced handling, excellent suspension and sophisticated features.

The Mega 290 Elite is a serious big hitter and isn’t afraid of flattening anything that’s in its path
Great kit for the money
Plenty of high-speed stability and confidence
Easy going, really comfortable ride in rough terrain
Not a particularly efficient pedaller
Rear suspension not as supportive as some

The combination of the race tuned geometry, floaty suspension and functional build kit, makes the Nukeproof Mega 275c Pro an extremely capable bike.
Aggressive riding position
Michelin front tyre undermines confidence

The Nukeproof Mega 275C is synonymous with balanced handling, laying down a convincing performance in our group test.
Excellent cornering capabilities
Great suspension
Good spec at a fair price
No space for a water bottle in the front triangle

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
