Expirience with the Nukeproof Mega RS Carbon Mountainbike (27,5 Zoll, X01 Eagle) 2021

Ludwig Döhl The Mega RS Carbon is named after the world famous Megaavalanche in Alpe de Huez, which pretty much defines its area of use. With its small 27.5 inch wheels, it even occupies a niche. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 14,5 kg of the Nukeproof Mega RS Carbon counts towards the lighter Enduro that you get for under under 8000 Euro. With its balanced handling, riding the Enduro of Nukeproof feels really intuitive. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Mega RS Carbon suite the taste of most bikers. Nukeproof is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components.
