Apart from the Pulse, the Nukeproof range features the Scalp, the workhorse of the fleet and the company’s original DH race rig, the AM275, a true ‘do-it-all’ model designed for All-Mountain adventure, Alpine playtime and Megavalanche-style Gravity Enduro events, and the lighter, shorter-travel Mega TR275.
