Expirience with the Nukeproof Giga 297 RS

Ludwig Döhl Racing legend Sam Hill's racing machine is also available in a mullet design with a small 27.5-inch rear wheel. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on very demanding single trails should be considered pleasant. The Nukeproof Giga 297 RS has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more.
