Expirience with the Nukeproof Reactor 290 Factory

Ludwig Döhl The Reactor 290 Factory 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. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the Nukeproof Reactor 290 Factory gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Nukeproof Fully. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Reactor 290 Factory to on demanding single tracks a buying recommendation in the price range 6799 Euro range.
