Sep 7, 2023Nukeproof Mega 297 Elite
$2300 GBPFor sale Nukeproof Mega 297 Elite bought last year from Mitchell Cycles in Swindon. Great bike as I’m sure you know. Mullet with 29 wheel up front and 650b out back. Upgraded the rear rim to a Stans Flow Mk3 as kept having issues with the Horizon. Not been ridden since. It’s too much bike for me nowadays so needs to go to a home where it will be abused ;) It’s only been ridden a few times. Little bit of paint chipping by the rear axle and by the bottom bracket and some marks to the protective wrap but everything else is in amazing condition. All stock except for the rear rim.
Words from NP: For over 10 years, our best-selling model; the Mega has been racking up awards on Enduro stages and in the press around the world. With 4 Enduro World Series titles to its name, the Mega has become an icon that is synonymous with racing. However, we never rest on our laurels and 2021 sees the introduction of the 4th generation Mega, now in a 297 offering.
The Mega 297 is a seriously capable machine, paring a 29” wheel upfront with a 27.5” wheel outback. Why two sized wheels? The 29” wheel up front maximises grip and rolling efficiency whilst the 27.5” wheel out back, ensures nimble handling for manoeuvrability and extra clearance for riders when leaning off the back of the bike.
To optimise the weight, strength and stiffness, the Mega Carbon frame features a T700/800 UD woven carbon fibre frameset (Front and rear Triangle). The new carbon swingarms helps reduce the unsprung weight on the rear of the bike. All forged part are made from 6061-T6 Aluminium.
After winning 4 Enduro World Series Titles in 3 years the all new design is an evolution of our ultimate Enduro bike. At the heart of the frame is all new suspension Kinematics, designed to be more subtle off the top, whilst remaining progressive and predictable. Anti-Squat is used to create an effective pedalling bike that can be thrashed through technical terrain. The useable SAG range is also widened to allow riders to tune the suspension to the trails. Other key features include:
Front 29”/Rear 27.5” MX wheel size platform
Improved suspension kinematics
Tube-In-Tube design for easy cable installation
All new Geometry
SRAM UDH
Room for a 750ml water bottle inside the main front triangle

$2000 GBPFor sale:
2015 Trek Remedy 9.8 29er size 17.5 (actual 16.5) - ridden a handful of times
Fox DRCV rear shock 140mm travel with offset shock bushing - brings the head-angle to 66 degrees with the long fork, nice and slack
Rockshox Pike RC - travel extended to 160mm (will include original airshaft should you want to reduce travel back down to 140mm)
Lightbicycle 38mm carbon rims laced to new Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs with Sapim bladed spokes - ridden once

Rockshox Reverb stealth dropper post
Renthal carbon handlebar 780mm 20mm rise
Syntace Force 55m stem to get the riding position more in line with a 140mm fork

Avid Elixir brakes - perform better than the Shimano XT brakes that came on the bike but can swap them back for you if you don't want the Elixirs (you'll need to extend the XT front brake hose as now too short for the longer fork)
Only ridden this a little due to work and injuries so will be a great enduro/alps-ready bike for someone up to 5'6''. It's a big upgrade from the stock bike that had weak wheels and the more relaxed angles now really make it a great handling bike for steep, rough, techy terrain
