Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Season:2022

Brand:Nukeproof

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.

Since 2009 the Nukeproof Mega has been on a constant development to meet the demands of our riders and customers alike.This has resulted in the launch of the Mega 297.

The pursuitfor performance isendless. Developed in conjunction with our elite athletes, the Megais now available ina mixed(MX)wheel size platform.The Mega297 is a seriously capable machine,paring a 29” wheel up front with a 27.5” wheel out back. Why two sized wheels? The29” wheel up front to maximise 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 theunsprungweight on the rear of the bike. All forged partaremade 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.

Nukeproof Mega 297 Carbon Mountain Bike key features include:

  • Front 29”/Rear 27.5”MXwheel size platform
  • Improved suspension kinematics
  • Tube-In-Tube design for easy cable installation
  • All new Geometry
  • SRAM UDH
  • Room for a750ml water bottle inside the main front triangle
