Expirience with the Nukeproof Giga 297 Carbon ELITE

Ludwig Döhl Racing legend Sam Hill's racing machine is also available in a mullet design with a small 27.5-inch rear wheel. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Giga 297 Carbon ELITE is a very balanced customer. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Nukeproof Fully. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on very demanding single trails, the Enduro of Nukeproof is one of the best models in the on very demanding single trails category.
