Well-considered changes have made the new Mega feel more dynamic, fun and exciting to ride
- solid spec
- Suspension is easy to set up and feels balanced
- geometry works great, with plenty of sizes to choose from
- climbs well even with all of this travel
- uncomfortable saddle
- Michelin tyres don’t always give the confidence to really push it on hardpack
Peter Walker
The new Giga definitely deserves its place in the Nukeproof family and is a good fit for the big brother of the Mega. If you’re looking for that downhill bike feeling with a single crown fork, you will definitely find it with the new Giga. The plush...
- Plush and confidence-inspiring suspension
- beautiful looking and covered with protective tape from the factory
- progression of the rear suspension is easily adjustable
- cool features on the frame
- Cable ports and cable routing at the cockpit
- Bolts at the pivot points came loose (we recommend some LOCTITE)

Nukeproof updates its sucessful Mega race bike - revised geometry and extra sizes all with space for a bottle, but is the new Nukeproof Mega 290 better?
- Great geometry
- fit
- standover and size options
- with all riders benefitting from longer dropper posts. Pedals like stink
- even with the draggy Michelin tyres. Killer value for a shop-bought enduro bike.
- Rear suspension would benefit from a lighter damping tune on the Fox Float X2 shock. Brake pad rattle will drive you nuts.

- Needs to be up to speed to bring it alive
- Water bottle in the firing line if you choose to run one
