The Mega has been racking up awards on enduro stages and in the press around the world. With four Enduro World Series (EWS) titles to its name, the Nukeproof Mega has become an icon synonymous with enduro racing.Since 2009, the Nukeproof Mega has been in constant development to meet the demands of Nukeproof 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 Enduro Race FrameEngineered for optimised frame weight, strength and stiffness, the Mega Carbon frame features a T700/800 UD woven carbon fibre frameset (Front and rear Triangle). The carbon swingarms help reduce the unsprung weight at the rear of the bike - this helps improve suspension performance. All forged parts are made from 6061-T6 aluminium.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 efficient 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.Key Features: 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 triangleThe updated Mega frame geometry features a dynamic saddle offset for balanced seated rider weight distribution on each frame size. This dynamic saddle offset means that each frame size has a bespoke seat angle. In addition, the actual seat tube is shorter overall and offers a deeper maximum insert depth that allows a longer dropper post if required.Fast Suspension Fenix EVO Enduro Coil Rear ShockThe Fenix was released in January 2019 and immediately proved its worth and performance by reaching the Enduro World Series podiums. The Fenix EVO stemmed from the idea of having a shock as efficient as a downhill shock with an integrated climb mode that stays independent from the other adjustments.Fast Suspension has kept all the strengths of the Fenix with the VDP piston that gives incomparable comfort and track feedback. The adjustable low-speed, medium speed compression and the dedicated high-speed piston.Fast focused their attention on the design of the EVO head for compatibility with more frame designs.

MASTER OF FUNLaufey is our most clever and versatile bike. Instead of saying that Laufey is tailored for one type of rider, we’re going to go ahead and claim this fun-loving machine is perfect for everyone. Laufey is omnipotent: it’s a slack, simple trail bike that relishes new terrain. Laufey may be someone's first bike or their latest bike. It’s inexpensive and attainable, and it’s a niche bike that feels at home in even the most exclusive bike collection. It's for first timers and expert shredders. Ride it in lycra, shred it in jeans. Laufey is a jack-of-all-trades and master of fun with 29” wheels and a 140mm fork.

The Merida Big Trail has been a hit with the mountain bike press and trail riders alike. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. Conversations between UK bike shops and Merida's German R & D team resulted in the development of a fun-packed and hugely capable bike. Trail bike geometry combined with a long travel 140 mm fork and grippy 2.4" wide 29er trail tyres make this the perfect companion for exciting trail sessions and demanding all-day rides over rough terrain. It's perfectly suited to UK riding. The modern trail bike geometry has a slack enduro inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle and a long reach. A short seat tube delivers a low standover height giving plenty of space to manoeuvre on the bike when the trail gets technical but still accommodates a long travel dropper post. The geometry means most sizes work for most body sizes so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size. The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, there's a trail mount under the top tube giving the ability to carry tools and extra gear on the bike. It's also possible to fit mudguards and a rack if you want to trek further afield.
The SCOTT Scale 960 comes fully equipped with a RockShox fork, a SRAM Eagle drivetrain along with Remote Lockout technology to allow for multiple travel settings to adjust to riding conditions.
Returning to the hardtail lineup is the beloved Big Honzo. Its classic lines and low standover have made it a favorite for all types of riders. This year we have two Big Honzos that hit the mark for something different. 130mm of front travel, 27.5+ tires and the ability to switch to 29” wheels, modern geo, and just the right parts keep this bike an affordable option for everyone.The Big Honzo DL is exactly what the name implies. It’s a Honzo with bigger tires and a nice build kit featuring hydraulic disc brakes and 130mm of suspension. You’ll get a little extra squish thanks to the 2.8” tires that absorb bumps with ease. Comfortable geometry and an adjustable travel dropper post ensure you’re always at just the right position on your bike whether you’re climbing that big mountain or descending down your favorite flow trail!
