ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

The new Nukeproof Mega is an exciting bike! Despite receiving a bike that was one size too small for us, we found the 2021 Mega 290 RS to be fast, promising and capable. It climbs even better than its predecessor, and its suspension has been taken to a whole...

Pros
  1. amazing suspension performance
  2. well-chosen, (almost) race-ready spec
  3. beautiful frame and great finishing touches
Cons
  1. the rear rotor is too small
