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...

Pros
  1. Plush and confidence-inspiring suspension
  2. beautiful looking and covered with protective tape from the factory
  3. progression of the rear suspension is easily adjustable
  4. cool features on the frame
Cons
  1. Cable ports and cable routing at the cockpit
  2. Bolts at the pivot points came loose (we recommend some LOCTITE)

The Mega 290 Elite is a serious big hitter and isn’t afraid of flattening anything that’s in its path

Pros
  1. Great kit for the money
  2. plenty of high-speed stability and confidence
  3. easy going, really comfortable ride in rough terrain
Cons
  1. Not a particularly efficient pedaller
  2. rear suspension not as supportive as some
