For over 12 years, Nukeproof’s best-selling model; the Mega has been racking up awards on enduro stages and in the press around the world. With four Enduro World Series titles to its name, the Mega has become an icon that is synonymous with racing.

Since 2009 the Nukeproof Mega has been on a constant development to meet the demands of Nukeproof’s riders and customers alike. As a result, the Mega Alloy V4 frame is available for 27.5”, 29” or new Mixed (Front 29”/Rear 27.5” wheel sizes) wheel set ups, with each frame design tailored around each wheel size.

Triple-Butted Alloy Enduro MTB Frame
To optimise the strength and weight, the Mega is constructed fully out of T6061-T6 Aluminium including all forged parts.

After winning four Enduro World Series Titles in three years the V4 design is an evolution of Nukeproof’s ultimate enduro bike. At the heart of the frame is the brand’s revised suspension Kinematic, designed to be more subtle off the top, whilst remaining progressive and predictable. Anti-Squat is used to create an effective pedalling bike that can be thrashed through technical terrain. The useable SAG range is also widened to allow riders to tune the suspension to the trails. Other key features include:

·        All new Aluminium chassis

·        Designed and improved suspension kinematics

·        All new geometry

·        Optimised sizing/fit – Medium to XXL

·        SRAM UDH

·        Now fits a 750ml water bottle inside the main front triangle!

The Mega frame is optimised around the rider and weight distribution. The geometry features dynamic saddle offset. Seat angles are optimised for each frame size and the seat tube itself is designed to take a longer dropper post if required.
