Nukeproof Mega 275 Alloy Comp Mountain Bike. Since 1995 the infamous Megavalanche race, which starts from the highest point on Pic Blanc (3300m) above the village of Alpe D’ Huez has been synonymous with all mountain riding & the highest level of true mountain bike racing Conceived originally in 2009 by the development team at Nukeproof in an attempt to build the perfect bike for this exact style of racing, the Mega was born. Now in its 4th evolution, the Mega is podium proven. It has tasted success with numerous national & international race wins to its name Designed to excel on the toughest enduro tracks; the gravity focused
Specification is designed to descend fast but maintain the pedalling efficiency for all-day epics Chassis Stiffness. For 2019 Nukeproof has focussed on the smallest details in order to improve an already podium proven chassis. The Mega’s frame now has a dedicated 1x drivetrain configuration, increasing the main pivot bearing placement to maximise frame stiffness. This additional stiffness prevents torsional flex under pedalling & helps the chassis track through high speed, rough terrain without compromise With stiffness in mind, Nukeproof took the time to incorporate the very latest Boost 148 rear axle spacing allowing it to spec much stiffer & stronger wheels both front & rear. All 2019 Nukeproof Mega models will come with new wider spaced Boost wheels & forks enabling the rider to feel even more confident on the increased capability of the bike Updated Race Geometry. With the demands of Enduro World Series racers progressing at a rapid rate, Nukeproof looked again at its geometry & saw an opportunity to tailor the frames to suit not only the fastest racers, but the growing tribe of riders that utilise its bikes every weekend whether that be shuttling runs at their favourite bike park, or heading off for an all-day epic in the local hills Slightly taller head tube lengths help tailor the cockpit feel to increase rider confidence, & a lengthened top tube on large & extra-large frames should help even the tallest of riders feel at home on the new Mega Metric Shock Sizing. The product development team work extremely closely with Nukeproof's suspension partners & spent endless hours working on the perfect shock configuration for the new Mega. The perfect partnership between rear shock technology & frame kinematics have always been in the very root of its thought process when developing bikes & the new Mega with its brand new ’metric’ shock standard is no different. Designed to work perfectly with both air & coil sprung rear shocks, Nukeproof has addressed some of the areas that it felt could be enhanced on over the previous design such as hardware improvements & higher spec shocks across the board The new Mega utilises the brand new Rock Shox Super Deluxe rear shock & hardware now comprises of a wider spaced 25mmx 8mm front mount, with a rocker link mounted bearing system to improve shock sensitivity & reduce the amount of wear through heavy usage. This combination adds even more stiffness to the chassis through these more secure fixtures & the ‘ Metric’ rear shock system with increased bushing overlap
