Expirience with the Nukeproof Giga 297 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 Elite is a very balanced customer. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 6199 Euro .
