Firstly a huge thank you to all our customers for the support and helping shape Nukeproof to what it is today.

It's been a huge year for us at Nukeproof with the launch of the all-new Mega 275 and 290 which was capped last weekend with that amazing EWS victory by Sam Hill in Valberg. Here's what we have in store for 2017:

The Bikes:

The pinnacle of the range is the Team 275. Designed to excel on the toughest enduro tracks. A gravity focused specification; designed to descend fast, but have the efficiency to pedal and climb for all day epics. Inspired by Sam Hill's EWS winning set up, the new team features a 170mm Rockshox Lyric RCT3 fork, Mavic's new Deemax Pro wheelset and Sram's Eagle X0-1 12spd drivetrain. Finished with our premium components including our award winning 780mm Carbon Warhead bars and Vector AM trail saddle.

The stealthy Mega Pro (in 275 and 290 models) gets the Rockshox Lyric upgraded to 160mm and now features a full Shimano XT 1x11 drivetrain and brakes. With Sram Rail 40's wrapped in Schwalbe Magic Mary and Nobby Nic tyres in the Trail Star compound.

The Mega 275 and 290 Comp blends a lightweight build with a hard-hitting mentality. The trail spec Mega is designed to be a balanced between aggressive descents with an efficient pedal platform to dominate the trails.

The Mega 290 and 275 Race are designed with the same mentality as the Team build. With Rockshox's 160mm Yari, Sram's new NX 1x11 drivetrain, aggressive geometry it's built as an all day pedalling platform to attack the trails ahead.

All new to the Nukeproof line up is the Digger. The Digger originated from wanting a do-it-all training bike for our athletes. It's a versatile bit of kit. Designed to lap up the base miles, shred paths or get wild on the trails. A truly adaptable frame with a blend of road and mountain bike geometry whilst having the capacity for panniers and mudguards, the Digger can create an adventure out of any ride.

 Whoever designed the colour scheme / logo placement really needs to have another look. Remove the bottom of the D from Digger and it looks rather bad..

 It really doesn't look like that - it took me aaages to see it, and I certainly wouldn't have unless you'd pointed it out. It makes me think, firstly, what the hell is wrong with you that you see that straight away?!? Clearly you've got some deep seated racial issues. Secondly, it's 2016 man, why the hell are you pointing that out?! Even if that is how you see it, keep it to yourself. Pointing it out isn't funny and it isn't advancing any cause, so what are you trying to achieve? Just want to say something for the sake of it? Think about the impact your comments have before you say anything. Whether it was meant in a racist way or not is totally irrelevant, it's really offended me, and it will offend others. No comment with any vaguely racist undertone should be tolerated. There should be no safe space for racism, not even here. I'm shocked it's been upvoted. Seriously pinkbike, today, f*ck you.

I'm grabbing my bike and heading to the woods to get away from this sh*t.

 So now the word "digger" is offensive?
Because of what it could be?

 Any brand/name/title could be converted to any other word by taking out some letter or changing it... But your point isn't sounds like funny at all. So upvoting on PB now means nothing for me. Thanks!

 Digger is the nickname of the guy who built tons of trails in North Vancouver, and that's all I thought about when I saw that bike, (and what a sweet bike it is).

 @dtm1: why all the hate on a Diggah! Word is bind yo!
  • 17 2
 Wow! You guys really didn't get what I was saying.

I'm saying the designer here removed the bottom of the D already by cutting off the bottom of the text. I'm a graphic designer so perhaps I look at this with a slightly different eye to others when it comes to stuff like that.. now do you see what I mean?

No offence, nothing racial. The internet is a strange place.

@jezzah What you said makes sense, as a professional you have to make sure there is no way your design can be misinterpreted, because otherwise the PC brahs of pinkbike will attack.

Pointing out a design oversight doesn't make you a racist.

 @Nukeproofinternational: So the Mega has an FSR link and the Pulse doesn't? Why no FSR link on the Pulse?

 @bizutch: Why fsr on the mega?

So is there a separate release for the pulse?
  • 1 0
 @russthedog: Not sure what you're asking.
The 2016 & 2017 Mega use an FSR link suspension system. The Pulse DH bike looks to have a single pivot design, which I guess is sort of odd. You'd think they'd use the same 4 bar on the entire full suspension range.

 @bizutch: And I asked why not use the single pivot on the entire range?

 Dude... who designed that paint scheme... it's not good.

How can you not tell what the Digger actually looks like it says? What letter does it make when you remove the bottom of a D?

Really?

Also... 2by? Really?

To me... if you're gonna make a bike that's already being made (Ibis Hakkalugi) do it differently or better than the other guy. This looks like a Hakka that's not as nice. Should have sold it as a 1x with a dropper and the ability to hold slightly wider tires.

 The Team 275 looks great. Back to their normal and good looking colours. Its also great to see more and more bikes being specced with awesome tyres. WTB trail boss and Vigilantes are amazing! Not a Schwalbe in sight = bliss

 Just in case anyone is wondering, they do still make the Pulse. It's not just 'duro bikes, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it.

 I love these new nukeproofs, but definitely overkill on that trail. That was basically a pump track, and full suspensions suck on pump tracks. I guess Sam Hill was busy. Still if anyone wants buy me one, anyone of them would be perfect in my neck of the woods.

 @Spark24: It's a no, Kim Jong Un commanded us to test them, and the results were disastrous. The aluminium turned into shrapnel, and shattered Kim Jong Un's window on the viewing platform. Kim Sung Jong, the project manager, received substantial radiation poisoning and is now recovering in hospital. Last we heard, he was doing ok, but the message was interrupted by a power outage.

The North Korean enduro team has been dealt a significant setback in finding appropriate frames.
