The superbly capable Nukeproof Mega gets updated for 2013. Travel goes up from 150mm to 160mm, a new T6 6061 hydroformed tube set gives the beast a sleek new look and weight is down from last year.
The nicely slack 66º head angle remains the same as the 2012 Mega, but the seat angle is slackened off and the front centre is slightly longer and a Reverb Stealth keeps the cabling nice and neat.
There will be two builds available, a Pro version with a Cane Creek Double Barrel and the Comp, with the Monarch Plus.
The bike we have here is the Pro but the production Pro bike will have a CCDB air rather than the Monarch Plus.
Will bring you more news soon!
