2012 Nukeproof Complete Bikes Announced


New for 2012, Nukeproof complete bike builds based on our highly acclaimed framesets available in Comp & Pro build options!

Take to the Alps with the Nukeproof Mega AM Pro; built around our race proven Mega AM frame which has evolved from a prototype that placed highly in the 2009 Megavalanche event. The Mega Comp features a high end component spec that will offer high levels of performance in your local Enduro events yet be ready for the starting beeps when the Megavalnche rolls around!

Hrdroformed Double-Welded 6061 Aluminium Frame & RockShox Lyrik RC Fork
Our custom drawn hydrofoormed double-welded 6061 aluminium frame offers 150mm rear travel and designed to match with 150-170mm forks up front. The Mega is a versatile frame that combines plush descending prowess with pedalling efficiency. Utilizing our 'Erosion' linkage giving a smooth progressive action with a well controlled mid-stroke to avoid wallowing under pedal loads; suspension travel is controlled by the RockShox Monarch air shock. The main bearing pivots are contained within a bespoke CNC-machined Bottom Bracket Assembly to ensure alignment, durability and precision. An asymmetric chainstay design gives clearance for a double front derailleur (with a 22t-36t chainring set up) and compatibility with all leading models of ISCG-05 mounted chain retention systems.Geometry is based around a 66deg head angle and 75deg seat angle, with a BB height of 13.69” for climbing and descending prowess. A 44mm headtube standard keeps the front of the bike light, with Nukeproof headset options allowing all fork steerer option compatibility.
A RockShox Lyrik RC2 DH fork presents a new level of performance for AM assaults with a balanced 160mm of infinitely adjustable air sprung travel. The Maxle Lite 20mm thru axle will provide positive tracking on the roughest rock strewn descents and increases front end stiffness and braking performance.

SRAM Pro Groupset
The Snap Pro features a full SRAM groupset. Shifting is taken care of with SRAM X7/X9 shifters and derailleur’s to deliver flawless performance and crisp gear shifts. The SRAM X0 2x10 chainset is at the heart of the transmission and when paired with the 11-36t cassette provides the perfect blend of lightweight performance with a gear ratio that will make short work of the steepest ascents!
The RockShox Reverb seatpost is a revelation in terms of increasing your enjoyment. With a simple flick of the bar mounted remote lever you can drop the saddle height for increased standover clearance for descending and at the flick of a switch raise it again for climbing increasing the bikes race ready credentials.
Avid X0 hydraulic disc brakes are paired up with 180mm rotors front and rear providing powerful, fade free braking in any conditions.
Nukeproof Finishing Kit
Finishing kit is our own tried and tested Warhead series of components. Our Generator Race wheelset combine low weight in a bombproof build for all-day epics. Steering is precise and sharp with our Warhead 760 riser bars and Warhead stem combination with our lock-on grips ensuring you never come un-stuck! Our Warhead plasma “Mega” edition saddle completes the build adding unique style.

Race ready performance with pro build spec, the Nukeproof Scalp DH Pro; built around our World Cup proven Scalp DH frame which has been the weapon of choice for the ChainReactionCycles/

Nukeproof Team riders over the last two seasons.
The Scalp DH Comp offers a full race ready spec with World Cup ready potential; ultimate reliability and low maintenance come as standard!

Hydroformed Double-Welded 6061 Aluminium Frame & RockShox BoXXer RC Fork
Engineered from double-welded 6061 aluminium and tested by our team riders on courses in the UK and elsewhere, the Scalp is a slack and low-slung gravity sled built for the steepest, most technical and most challenging race runs the sport can throw up. Boasting a super-slack 63-degree head angle, 47.12 in wheelbase and 14” static BB height (medium size) the Scalp is characterised by its centrally-positioned shock and linkage system to keep the centre of gravity low. Rear hub spacing is standard 150mm while BB width is 83mm and the 1.5in headtube can be used in conjunction with the latest generation of Nukeproof headsets to cater for standard 1-1/8in fork steerers. Suspension-wise, the Scalp uses a single-pivot configuration with a unified rear triangle for optimum strength and stiffness. Its pull-link driven 'Fallout' linkage drives the shock in a three-stage progressive action - progressive throughout, with increasing progression at the beginning and end of the stroke, but a linearly progressive midstroke to avoid any spikes in damping. Huge 40mm diameter main pivot bearings are used with bearings mounted in machined faces in the swingarm, to provide maximum spacing and stiffness. Twin dogbones pull, rather than push, the swinglink giving a perfect progression rate, and allowing ride height tuning by swapping for different length links.
A Cane Creek Double Barrel controls the rear suspension with unlimited adjustability allowing the shock to be dialled in for any course conditions.
The RockShox BoXXer RC2 is a race proven platform and offers 200mm of buttery smooth coil sprung travel with the ability to swallow anything in its path! The Maxle Lite 20mm thru axle offers improved tracking and increases front end stiffness enhancing the handling characteristics and braking performance.

SRAM Pro Groupset
The Scalp DH Pro features a full top end SRAM groupset. The SRAM X9 shifter and X0 derailleur delivers flawless performance and crisp gear shifts time after time. The Truvativ Descendent chainset combines lightweight performance with rock solid construction to take the demands of full on World Cup level racing. The Truvativ X0 chainguide keeps the chain in place whilst offering impact protection to the chainring.
Avid X0 hydraulic disc brakes are paired up with 200mm rotors front and rear to provide reliable, consistent, fade free braking in all conditions.
Nukeproof Finishing Kit
Finishing kit is our own tried and tested Warhead series of components. Our Generator Race wheelset has been tried and tested in World Cup race conditions. Steering is precise and sharp with our Warhead 760 riser bars and Warhead BoXXer Direct Mount stem combination with our lock-on grips ensuring you never come un-stuck!
