Nukeproof are Proud to Introduce The All New Mega.
Thu 12th Nov, 2015 @ 1:30 pm
The Nukeproof Mega was one of the hot tickets on the Enduro scene last year, the bike is versatile, fun to ride and absolutely shreds with the ability to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it! For 2016 the Mega has had some serious work with sleek new lines and styling as well a new suspension platform that incorporates a Horst link to improve the pedalling performance and suspension action under braking.
The new Nukeproof Mega – HOT!
The 27.5 wheeled version retains the 160mm travel front and rear but a new 29er version delivers a whopping 150mm of travel front and rear. We’ll be testing them out as soon as we can get our hands on them and will let you know how they ride. In the meantime here is the full PR from Nukeproof!
Nukeproof has a proud history in creating performance mountain bike products and the all new Mega is the most compelling all mountain frame we have ever created. Since 1999 the Megavalanche has been synonymous with all mountain riding and the advancements in trail bikes to suit the terrain. The original Mega was conceived from the desire of Nukeproof employees to create their ideal “do it all” bike and test it against the world by competing in the infamous Mega Avalanche, France. Gravity focussed geometry paired with pedalling efficiency and a rewarding all mountain ride are in its DNA.
Lined up in the morning sunshine!
The new Mega is a force to be reckoned with on the trails. A revised pedal platform, thanks to an all new rear suspension linkage, will reward your effort uphill more efficiently and also enable you to extract the maximum out of yourself when pointed downhill. The move to the Horst linkage enables the rider to enjoy more active suspension, especially under braking. We have also refined the pivot points on the linkage to allow for a more linear suspension curve.
The new linkage design…
The sleek lines of the Mega not only offer a weight saving and improved strength; the unique hydro-formed 6061 Aluminium also offers extra compliance thanks to the natural damping in the top tube. Also, new for 2016 is the addition of the 29” wheel size. The 29” platform offers riders 150mm travel front and rear, with the 27.5” still offering 160mm from each end.
We can see this being a hugely popular ride in 2016!
The all new design will be available with offerings of various specifications and price points, from the new entry level Race model to the no compromising specification of the Team model. For those who wish to custom build their own frame, we also offer both Mega 275 and Mega 290 in frame only options.
Sleek tubing…

Nukeproof – It’s an attitude
