From the 4th to the 10th of July will see 1000's of riders and fans ascend Mount Pic for arguably the most famous mass start gravity mountain bike race in the world.

2016 sees the Nukeproof staff and riders returning to Alp D'Huez with the latest incarnation of the Mega, the bike originally designed to race down the slopes of Mt Pic Blanc. Along with the original design and development team, we will be bringing enduro specialist and long-serving Nukeproof athlete Matti Lehikoinen, as well as young Irish racer Kelan Grant.

Matti will be along with us at the Megavalanche 2016

To help Nukeproof riders at the event we will be bringing a selection of spares (please pre-register with us to let us know what Nukeproof frame you are on) and also some promotional goodies.

This is the original Mega prototype which raced the Megavalanche twice.

If you have entered to race on your Nukeproof drop us a message through our facebook site with your frame and your T-shirt size. Facebook site: Nukeproofbikes (click on the HERE to link to our Facebook).

Come meet the team at Smithy's Tavern at 8PM on the Wednesday 6th July (you can pick up an exclusive "Mega" T-Shirt then too- Limited quantities so it's on a first registered, first served basis.)

 @brigand: yea wouldn'thave touched previous years- they looked like they were hacked together with old bits of scaffolding in a shed. But these new frames look the shizzle...
