Expirience with the Nukeproof Giga 290 Elite

Nukeproof Giga 290 Elite Review The combination of the Giga 290 Elite and racing legend Sam Hill is pretty much the most successful pairing enduro racing has ever seen. With a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern 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. With the shifting components, Nukeproof fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
