The Nukeproof Mega Carbon 297 is the fourth generation of the Mega, the enduro bike that has won four EWS overall titles and multiple stage victories on the World Series circuit. The frame uses a spring-mount linkage where the shock is mounted within the frame, providing progressive suspension, high pedal efficiency, and predictable behavior on technical terrain. The 297 configuration rides 29″ front and 27.5″ rear, with 165mm rear travel and a 170mm fork.
The Mega started as Sam Hill's race bike, purposefully built for the Megavalanche in Alpé d'Huez, one of the toughest mass-start downhill races in the world. That DNA is still in the fourth-generation frame: efficient enough to climb for an hour, fast enough to win a full EWS stage. The Nukeproof Mega is an enduro bike that revolves around balance, predictability, and pure speed. Built to dominate the descent and purposefully optimized for the legendary MEGAVALANCHE enduro race in the French Alps.
The framesets are also available separately, including rear suspension, in the color scheme of your choice.
This way, you build your own dream setup — from frame to finishing touch.
