Since its launch last year the Nukeproof Reactor made an impact in the mountain bike market. We awarded it our coveted Trail Bike of the Year award no less (read our Nukeproof Reactor 290C Elite review).

It will come as no surprise to most that the Nukeproof Reactor frame remains the same. Brands are going to want at least a couple of years out of their carbon moulding costs, preferably three. All the changes can be found in the spec sheet. See spec details below.

All new components from Fox, Shimano, Rockshox, Sram, Mavic, as well as the introduction of eye-catching brands like Bike Yoke.

Nukeproof: “Our team has taken care to spec all Reactors to perform in the wild and not just the spec sheet. None of this fitting inappropriate tyres to save grams, all bikes are ready for any trail off the shop floor, with high quality enduro bearings through the range and carbon models coming with clear frame protection as standard, just the way we would want from our own bike.”

The Reactor range is due in Nukeproof retailers… today.
