Expirience with the Nukeproof Mega 297 Carbon ELITE

Ludwig Döhl The Mega 297 Carbon ELITE is named after the world famous Megavalanche in Alpe de Huez, which pretty much defines its area of use. This bike loves extreme descents. Nukeproof is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Nukeproof Enduro, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The Nukeproof Mega 297 Carbon ELITE 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.
