Expirience with the Nukeproof Mega 297 Carbon FACTORY

Ludwig Döhl The Mega 297 Carbon FACTORY is named after the world famous Megavalanche in Alpe de Huez, which pretty much defines its area of use. This bike loves extreme descents. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Mega 297 Carbon FACTORY. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. When entering the saddle, the Nukeproof Enduro conveys a balanced seating position. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 15,65 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Nukeproof Fully to on extremely technical trails a buying recommendation in the price range 6799 Euro range.
