The weapon of choice for riders like Katy Winton and Elliott Heap, you can now get the Nukeproof Mega and Giga in 297 framesets.
If you like the idea of a Mullet Nukeproof Giga or Mega, but don’t want to have to buy two frames and bolt the different frame sections together, then Nukeproof have the answer in frame form only.
Having launched the 297 range last year, Nukeproof now have the frame-only option available for those looking to custom build theirs.
Mega 297
EWS U21 World Champion, Elliott Heap was an early convert to try a MX Mega 297. With rough trails of the Enduro World Series, the 29” front rolls faster over the holes and by mixing it with the agility and playfulness of the 27.5” wheel out back, gave him the feeling he wanted. Initially in 2019, Elliott tested “a Mongrel of a Mega 275” , a 275 frame with a 29” fork/ wheel, whilst it had some benefits of the 29” wheel, the Mega’s geometry was compromised.
To optimise this set up Nukeproof engineered a custom rear end for him to test, once he swung a leg over a custom-built geometry corrected Mega 297 V3 he knew he was onto something. For 2020/ 2021 he’s on the latest Mega V4 297 platform and has been punching in his best-ever EWS results.
GIGA 297
Launched this year the Giga has been winning much acclaim in 275 and 290 versions. The Giga 297 is the latest addition. Nukeproof’s 2021 signing Katy Winton was keen on the Giga 297 platform from the outset. Aiming to get frame that fitted her perfectly the Giga 297 giving her the room to move over the back of the bike, whilst having the benefits of the big wheel up front. So far, she’s loving it, sitting in the top 10 of the Enduro World Series overall. Since the start of the season too, Sam Hill has been testing his Giga 297.
Nukeproof are pleased to introduce the Mega and Giga in 297 frame options. Frames will be available in Nukeproof Yellow / Black Graphics, coming with a Fox Factory X2 Shock and in Authorised dealers from Late September 2021. Full list of Geometry can be found on the Nukeproof Website or here.
Frame Prices:
Mega 297: £2500
Giga 297: £2600
Don’t despair if you’re a current V4 Mega or Giga 290 owner, later in the year Nukeproof will offer an MX kit for these frames if they wish to convert your bike.
