Paul Burwell

If you’re a rider that’s focused on shredding singletrack rather than bike parks, the Nukeproof Reactor Pro 290 Alloy is a superb mid-travel trail bike

Pros
  1. Superb balance, insanely fast singletrack shredder
Cons
  1. A little lightweight for burlier riders

The Reactor ST isn't as fast as some uphill, but it’s a proper demon when pointed back down

Pros
  1. Surefooted downhill demon
  2. great spec at a reasonable price
  3. good geometry and ride position
Cons
  1. Easy going but not as efficient as some uphill
  2. only slightly lighter than the top-spec Reactor which has more travel and a burlier build

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

The Nukeproof Reactor 290C Factory proves that the amount of travel alone says very little about the downhill capabilities of a bike: despite having just 130 mm rear travel, we would happily take the Nukeproof to some enduro races! Downhill, the Reactor is...

Pros
  1. well thought-out spec suits the intended purpose
  2. intuitive, balanced handling
  3. good suspension
  4. comfortable pedalling position for long rides
Cons
  1. climbing efficiency

The Reactor trail bike bike first graced singletrack last year, entering Nukeproof’s mountain bike line-up between the Scout and the Mega enduro bike. We tested the 140mm all-mountain bike on Aberdeenshire’s finest – check out our first ride review...

Trail Bike Hooligan: Nukeproof Reactor 275 RS Nukeproof's take on the short/mid-travel trail bike turns out to be very capable - and tons of fun to ride.

Pros
  1. Fun factor!
  2. Confidence-inspiring geometry
  3. Rear suspension is perfectly balanced small/big hits
  4. Lyrik Ultimate – plush and well controlled
  5. Versatile build options
  6. Flip Chip adjustability
Cons
  1. Average rear hub engagement
  2. Rims cause snakebites and had tubeless issues in test
  3. Can be a bit tricky finding the balance between front and rear suspension
  4. Could have a steeper seat tube angle
  5. Not the very best pedaling efficiency
  6. Finish is perfectible
