Overview of components
Fork
The RockShox Lyrik is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 160mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The Mega 290 Pro has a rear shock with a travel of 155mm. The model Rear Travel: 155mm is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
The Mega 290 Pro 2019 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Nukeproof Mega 290 Pro has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes

Dropper post
Nukeproof Mega 290 Pro includes a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
