2016 NUKEPROOF MEGA 27.5
Since its first appearance on the trail, the Nukeproof Mega turns to be one of the most popular enduro/all mountain bikes out there. Based on its success, the 2016 Mega will adopt new design with longer front centers and wheelbases. The new 2016 Nukeproof Mega also have slacker head angles and shorter chainstays. The suspension is still same as previous with 160mm on both rear and front. But, the new Mega 2016 is using Horst Style Suspension System instead of the Single Pivot.
The new Mega 2016 27.5 will be completed by Nukeproof components and Rockshox parts; both suspension with the Monarch Debonair RC3 and Pike 160mm. The new 2016 Nukeproof Mega will run with the SRAM X01 drivetrain.
2016 NUKEPROOF MEGA 29
This is the really new Nukeproof Mega because it adopts 29er, a bigger wheel than 650b. Nukeproof says that they want to create the Mega in the faster and better in the performance. But, the New Mega 29er is a bit different with its brother, mostly on the travel. The New Mega 29er runs in 150mm of travel, on both front and rear.
More than that, this bike is very similar with the 27.5 model; Nukeproof components combined with SRAM parts. For fans who want to get more information about the bike, please visit the Nukeproof website at nukeproof.com. (pic; pinkbike.com)
