Expirience with the Nukeproof Mega 297 RS

Ludwig Döhl The Mega 297 RS 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 remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. At the seating position, Nukeproof combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face.
