Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight but in reality weight can vary based on size finish hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
This super-enduro race frame offers the best balance of stiffness and strength at a low weight for intense trail riding performance. The ideal frame for enduro racing, epic all-mountain adventures and bike park sessions, this race-ready frame features modern enduro geometry with internally piped cable routing, making it ideal for handling the demands of enduro racing while also providing a clean, sleek finish. For over 12 years, Nukeproof's best-selling model; the Mega has been racking up awards on enduro stages and in the press around the world. With four Enduro World Series titles to its name, the Mega has become an icon that is synonymous with racing. Since 2009 the Nukeproof Mega has been on a constant development to meet the demands of Nukeproof's riders and customers alike. As a result, the Mega Carbon V4 frame is available for 27.5”, 29” or new Mixed (Front 29”/Rear 27.5” wheel sizes) wheel setups, with each frame design tailored around each wheel size. Full Suspension Carbon Fibre MTB Frame 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 carbon swingarms helps reduce the unsprung weight on the rear of the bike, improving suspension performance. All forged parts are made from 6061-T6 aluminium. Nukeproof's Ultimate Enduro Race Bike After winning four Enduro World Series Titles in three years the V4 design is an evolution of Nukeproof's ultimate enduro bike. At the heart of the frame is the brand's revised suspension Kinematic, 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. Other key features include: All new UD Carbon chassis Improved suspension kinematics Tube-In-Tube design for easy cable installation All new geometry Optimised sizing/fit - Small to Large SRAM UDH Room for a 750ml water bottle inside the main front triangle The updated Mega frame geometry features dynamic saddle offset which is designed to optimise seated rider weight distribution on each frame size. This is achieved through a seat angle that is bespoke to each frame size. In addition, the actual seat tube is designed to be shorter overall with a bigger maximum insert depth so as to allow a longer dropper post if required. EXT STORIA LOK V3 Rear Shock The STORIA LOK V3 offers the revolutionary LOK Technology that allows a complete compression separate lock-out system, now totally renewed with a new design, a more progressive opening, and a totally silent working. In order to allow every rider to use a softer spring rate and increase bike traction and handling, EXT engineers have imported from ARMA the hydraulic bottom-out system named HBC (Hydraulic Bottom-out Control), capable to develop more than 50% of hydraulic force only on the last part of the stroke, allowing riders to avoid any kind of bottom-out issues. This technology allows the use of thinner bottom-out bumpers, increasing the amount of useful travel. The STORIA V3 is also designed to serve riders who want the maximum performance of a pedal-platform equipped shock, with great support on the last millimetres of bike rear travel, with the great performance of a coil-over shock.

Stay true, stay eccentric. The radical, modern geometry with a very long reach and a super slack head angle make this bike ideal for anyone who likes to go full gas. The heart of this beautiful 29'er hardtail mountain bike is its amazing steel frame built with custom drawn tange tubes with built-in gussets. This frame boasts a radical geometry with slack angles. Plus, at around 2.4kg, the Chromoly (CrMo) steel frame is light by any standards, but don’t worry, it’s strong enough to hold up to a lot of abuse. All the experience that NS Bikes has acquired over the years in building steel dirt-jump hardtails has been funnelled into this frame and it’s sure it's the very best money can buy. This is really a unique looking all mountain/trail bike and with the big wheels and dropper post that are included in the package, it rides like a dream both up and down mountains. We love the fact that this bike wants to be thrown around and changes direction with minimal input. Please Note: Due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, NS Bikes may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.

The Meta HT AM Essential is engineered and equipped with a durable and lightweight 6061-alloy frame, 150mm travel RockShox Yari RC fork and a SRAM NX Eagle 1x12-speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-50T cassette and hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon sealed-bearing Formula hubs and Spank Spike Race 33 rims wrapped in Wide Trail (WT) Maxxis Dissector tyres with high-grip 3C MaxxTerra compound and ultra-durable EXO+ side-wall casing. This Essential model has been designed to be playful, comfortable and provide great grip. With this bike, Commencal has tried to move the cursor a little more towards performance, especially when the rider is heading down the hill. The components are therefore chosen accordingly: - The RockShox Yari RC fork has 150mm of travel and is precise wherever it goes. It benefits from numerous setting adjustments and has an adjustable Debonair spring thanks to the additional tokens - The wide 2.6 tyres provide maximum comfort and grip on the most demanding trails. Their size also allows them to be run at low pressures - SRAM Guide T 4-piston brakes, for even more power and longevity on any slope - The SRAM NX Eagle 12-Speed drivetrain benefits from an 11-50T cassette which should make climbing a breeze - The KS Rage-I telescopic seat post links pedalling and downhill sections seamlessly. A real bonus to comfort and enables you to quickly drop your saddle height when descending - Modern Hardtail Mountain Bike with Updated Geometry - The first-choice bike for many, the Meta HT AM is one of those bikes that quite simply makes you want to ride. To stay ahead of the curve, Commencal looked at the little details that make the difference. On this updated version, the seat tube is lowered, which means it is now possible to install a longer travel seat post. Also, the choice of size is no longer restricted by a seat tube that's too high. Which is particularly useful for those who want a longer bike. Compatible with 650b and 29er Wheels A semi-rigid frame allows more pedalling efficiency; lighter weight and it reduces essential maintenance. The frame on the Commencal Meta HT AM Ride 29 Hardtail Bike facilitates 27.5 and 29-inch wheels. The 27.5” (650b) wheels are recommended for small and medium-sized riders or those who prefer increased handling, comfort and grip, 29” wheels are recommended for medium and large-sized riders or for those who favour efficiency, precision and performance. Ideal for Enduro, All Mountain and Trail Riding Commencal research confirms that it is the bike in their range that is most widely used, and to do most things. Enduro, off-road rides, urban missions, pump track laps. It goes everywhere. Versatile, Durable and Stylish Hardtail All Mountain Bike Commencal believed in the Meta many years ago and has become real specialists in getting the most performance from it. To keep current, they've worked on the smallest details that make the biggest differences. One upgrade is that the seat tubes are lowered. It’s a choice of reason which offers two advantages: It is now possible to fit longer travel dropper seat posts The choice of frame size is no longer limited by a seat tube that is too high when purchasing the complete bike. Particularly useful for those who want a longer bike For the rest, Commencal is continuing with the winning formula that made this bike design so successful. And its development revolves around reliability as a priority: - A semi-rigid frame which allows for better pedalling, lighter weight and reduced maintenance - A fork with 150mm travel which provides comfort and safety depending on where and how it’s being used - Models are now fitted as standard with 29/27 wheels in sizes S/M and 29-inches in sizes L/XL - The frame can still fit a 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheel no matter what the frame size The Commencal Meta HT AM Essential Hardtail Bike is one of those bikes that simply makes you want to ride.
