Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork installed. The fork’s travel is 180mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Rear Travel: 160mm rear shock model, which has a travel of 160mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
The Mega 290c RS 2020 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
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Nukeproof Mega 290c RS is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
Mega 290c RS comes in 3 sizes, that range from 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
The Nukeproof model is also equipped with a dropper post. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
