Expirience with the Nukeproof Giga 290 Carbon RS

Nukeproof Giga 290 Carbon RS Review The combination of the Giga 290 Carbon RS and racing legend Sam Hill is pretty much the most successful pairing enduro racing has ever seen. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Enduro of Nukeproof, the 63,5 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. When it comes to the seating position, Nukeproof chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face.
