Expirience with the Nukeproof Mega 297 Elite

Nukeproof Mega 297 Elite Review The Mega 297 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. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. With a total weight of 15,75 kg, the Mega 297 Elite is one of the heavier Enduro that you get for under under 8000 Euro. Nukeproof is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components.
