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

  4. Could have a steeper seat tube angle
  5. Not the very best pedaling efficiency
  6. Finish is perfectible

Some bikes seem to dictate the type of rides you'll be going on – a lightweight cross-country whip isn't likely to lead you into the bike park, just like you probably won't find yourself at the start of a hill climb competition aboard a DH bike. It's a...

Cons
  1. Seat tube angle could be steeper
  2. Cable routing isn't fully refined
  3. Doesn't feel much different than an enduro bike

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

The Nukeproof Reactor 275 RS is awesome fun to ride. In its 27.5” guise, the Reactor is best suited for a rider looking for a do-it-all trail bike who prioritises fun over flat-out charging. If you want a more planted bike with greater ability to carry...
