Summary

Expirience with the Nukeproof Reactor 290 Elite

Nukeproof Reactor 290 Elite Review The Reactor 290 Elite certainly doesn't have the lightest frame, but it does have an integrated fun factor in rough terrain. Because that's what the Reactor was developed for. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the All Mountain von Nukeproof, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. But the Reactor 290 Elite still holds an ace op its sleeve: compared to the direct market environment, it has a significantly better suspension.
