Style | Originally developed and later named after the race it was designed for on the infamous trails of Alp D’Huez. To date the Mega platform is one of the most highly decorated race bikes on the market: with the 2017, 2018 (x2) and 2019 Enduro World Series Titles; a Downhill World Championship top 10 and a Silver Medal at the 4x World Championship to its name. (As well as a host of other national and international victories and titles!) Since 2009 the Nukeproof Mega has been constant path of development to meet the evolving demands of our riders and customers alike. Our team are relentlessly striving for improvements and with each generation the Mega has been chiselled and shaped into today's thoroughbred Enduro race bike. With the launch of the 2020 Carbon Mega 290c, you could forgive our designers for resting on their laurels. However, as Nukeproof products are developed between the tapes, there is a constant desire to hone and refine in order to give our athletes and riders the best possible chance of standing on top of the podium. Introducing the all-new MegaV4: born through evolution, not revolution! New Sizing structure for optimised fit Whilst humans may not have changed size much in recent years; the bike sizes they choose to ride most certainly have. To ensure a perfectly dialled fit for our riders and customers alike, we now offer 5 frame sizes: Small through to XXL with evenly spaced jumps between each.
