Product Description

Nukeproof Mega AM Frame - RockShox Monarch RT3 2012

Inspired by the explosion in Megavalanche-style Enduro DH events and evolved from a prototype that placed highly in the 2009 run of the actual event, the Mega frame is built to take the unique combinations of challenges thrown up by Enduro-style DH events and general All-Mountain adventure.

Offering 150mm rear travel and designed to match with 150-170mm forks up front the Mega is a versatile frame that combines plush descending prowess with pedalling efficiency.
Suspension-wise, the Mega uses our 'Erosion' linkage giving a smooth progressive action with a well controlled mid-stroke to avoid wallowing under pedal loads.

Main bearing pivots are contained within a bespoke CNC-machined Bottom Bracket Assembly to ensure alignment, durability and precision, while an asymmetric chainstay design gives clearance for a double front derailleur (with a 22t-36t chainring set up) and compatibility with all leading models of ISCG-05 mounted chain retention systems.  Geometry is based around a 66deg head angle and 75deg seat angle, with a BB height of 13.69” for climbing and descending prowess.

A 44mm headtube standard keeps the front of the bike light, with Nukeproof headset options allowing all fork steerer option compatibility.

The Mega is available in a choice of various unique finishes.

Features:
• Oversize full complement bearings throughout
• Erosion link and custom tuned shock giving superior action and pedalling  performance
• Cable guides for dropper seatpost remote

Specification:
• Built for: Enduro/Trail/AM
• 44mm headtube
• 73mm BB, 135mm Maxle rear

A closer look at the all-mountain machineNukeproof's Mega is one of the most eagerly-anticipated all-mountain bikes of 2011, promising a combination of great downhill handling and sorted climbing capability. Built for tackling enduro-style downhill events and general all-mountain terrain, the Mega offers 150mm rear travel, designed to be run with a 160mm fork up front. We asked Nukeproof Brand Ambassador Nigel Page to take you through the setup of the bike, and give you feedback on how it performs on the trails. As Nigel says, it's a versatile beast: "I've been using this bike all winter for XC, short downhill runs, jumping in the woods. It's a really good bike for everything. It pedals up hills amazing for a 150mm bike. That was the biggest thing I was amazed at on the bike. And if you want to set it up a little bit softer for downhill runs, it sits into the travel nicely and slackens the front end out a little bit more."Watch the video now, courtesy of MTBCut.tv.

The right choice!

Posted by Stevo on 22nd Nov 2011

Went on a whim and a few reviews and bought the frameset from GlobalBike with easy payment option :-). Built the bike up to my spec with Rock Shox revelations, SRAM X9/SLX, reverb, Elixir, hand built wheelset. The result is the best full suss bike I've ever ridden. Climbs with aplomb and tracks perfectly downhill - that's what it's made for. I'm only a trail centre rider really but the geometry and seating angle gives it a FR/DH feel. For the money, I can't see anything else out there at this price point (save for end of line bargain basement stuff) that can compete and everyone wants to get a look at it on the trails. The shock is very tunable and in some respects better than an RP23. In short, I'm a very happy rider and will be taking it to the alps next year.
Global Bike were extremely helpful on collecting the frame and made the purchase worth the trip to Chester :-)
