Which one would you choose? Nukeproof Mega or Nukeproof Reactor? Let us know!
I am a big fan of nukeproof and actually I am enjoying the Scout now. However, If I would chose between the both, I will choose the mega because of the travel. There are some low price mega in your website but still won't fit my budget. But if I am gonna have a full suspension bike, I would not think of other bikes or bike brands. The Mega is my number 1 go to.
@@MTBPlaygrounds Sounds like you're a big Mega fan! Awesome to hear :-) Hope you're enjoying the Scout.
I’m also a big fan of nukeproof bike I also like the mega because I do racing but I couldn’t afford one so I stick on my NUKEPROOF MEGA TR 2014 26er but planning to put 27.5 on the front
@@chainreactioncycles Absolutely. My Scout bombs every trail here in Japan, how much more if I have the mega. Nukeproof is really an awsome bike and I have nothing to say bad especially about the frame durability.
I’ve got the mega , love it , my local trails are pretty enduro based , love to have a crack on the reactor as a comparison
awesome video! As always!
Defo the Mega for me, in fact so certain of it that mines is on order. Though a 3 month wait is not so good
Defo the Mega. I currently ride a Trek Fuel Ex for the trails. Mega 275c Pro is on order for the super rough stuff.
The reactor looks very similar to my 2014 Mega
Ive got a mega n love it.
Would like the reactor but im definitely more into the natural gnar than trail centres so would probably go for another mega
APPRECIATED GUYS!!
Mega! I have short travel full sus for XC and easy trails, and the mega i my dream bike
Yea I’m getting the mega..I have a canyon spectral already and it’s my trail bike to go but I wanna the 29er mega
i dont know which one to go for. I mostly ride surrey hills and rogate bike park, bike take occasional trips to bike park wales and revolution bike park. Any recommendations?
I still can’t decide between the two. Nowhere near me carries them so gotta toss a coin and order I guess lol
Do many people own both ? Are the differences that noticeable?
I own a mega , live half way between 2 mtb parks , one is full enduro , mega is perfect there . The other park is more flowy trail , flatter , more curves and berms. The mega feels like too much bike for that place .
Thinking of getting a second bike , one for each park :)
Seems "all mountain" category is coming back with some of these bikes manufacturers are building out- aggressive trail/light enduro. Bikes like the Reactor, Meta TR, etc especially in 29 are designed to be more than a trail bike and can compete in less gnarly enduro courses. A true, do anything, bike for those that can't afford multiple options. Personally I love it, riding a Meta TR on fast rollers one day and blue/blacks shuttled the next, without a hiccup. Plus I can climb with my XC focused buddies.
Can you really climb with XC buddies? Does the weight and the kinematics not make the bike feel too squishy for long XC rides? Or would XC wheels/ tires fix that?
Any chance of trying out a Reactor at a demo day once lockdown is over?
Nukeproof is at the moment one of the best companies offering bikes and bike components on the market. Grate design and over all very good build quality. Of course not every single product is good but most of them definitely is 👍🏻
Yea, I agreed and with Santa Cruz,best companies....
Whats the weight for the mega carbon and reactor?
Hey I visit your website frequently but am confused if you sell bikes and deliver them or not. Can you tell me plz?
#Chain Reaction Cycles g’day. Any chance of a review of the 2020 Vitus Sommet VRX 29?
is it always raining there?
I am currently looking to buy the Mega 290c RS version, has someone ever seen a proper review on that version of the bike or is it just to similar to the other versions?
Which one should I choose for more flowy trails, climbs and sometimes a bikepark? I am from the Netherlands
Mega is amazing it can do anything downhill but isn’t as fast up hill as the reactor. If it where me I would get the mega as I am a aggressive rider but if ur very nimble maybe the reactor
Personally I'd have the reactor as I dont ride gnarly enough trails to justify the mega.
Did he say they run organic pads??
Yes he did.
i choose the reactor 🤘
Mega forever!!
Don't forget to throw in 27.5" V's 29" !
bro but fr the only differance is the amount of travel on the shock and the frame geometry
this is basically an ad imo
Nukeproof (and Vitus) are owned by Chain Reaction so not really surprising they are promoting the brand...
Why are my tyre walls white?
Please tell me why the announcer in the beginning look like a monster standing next to the bikes.
Monster? Harsh! He's (I'm) 6ft 5 - might make the (size large) bikes look a bit small...
@@chainreactioncycles harsh!? well I'm a monster too at 6'4 220 lb I ride downhill and trails and I still haven't found a bike I truly feel comfortable with even though most companies size rating is 6'2 - 6'7 for extra large frame but that is a lie. I will love to have a bike that feels like the bike is bigger than me then vice versa. All tall guys seat are massively extended above their handlebars making tall Riders have too lean more forward in a slanted position then the other smaller riders that I ride with. There saddle seems to be level with their handlebars. Since we're off the topic but let's hope back on the topic. Which one of these nukeproof is better suited for a tall riders like yourself?
@@supersyx :-) I feel your pain! I've ridden an XL Nukeproof Mega and Reactor and both fit fine - I know what you're saying about the seatpost being massively extended, but apart from aesthetics, I don't have an issue with it. Reactor suits most of the type of riding I do...
whoaaaaa....riding when its wet on the trail? Oh man...here in kansas they freak out and shut trails down wont let you ride when wet! Not sure why they do that....
Only have a small window of dry days here in the UK 😣
2 bikes for completely different purposes? Why would one be better than the other?
Because they can do the same shit. Theres a doc on redbulltv bout the start off big mountain riding. Utah were rampage is on 90s shit bikes! If they could do that on that historic gear then these can do anything. Its the ability of the rider not the type off bike you have
@@tomwallhead6950 Don't you believe speeds have increased and bikes have greatly improved since then, as well as the dollar tanking from normal inflation plus the $.45 print³ 0bama-dollar?
@@Error-hc7mp why would you start a business? To not make money?
Neither, if you have to rely on CRC for customer service 😂
their customer service not up to scratch?
@@jamiemcclean many would argue that they don't even have customer service
Brian D oh damm, it’s that bad.
Any recommendations on better retailers in the uk. Been looking a lot as I plan on buying a mtb soonish.
Thanks in advanced.
I disagree! CRC has replaced my dropper post AND a disc rotor for me. The rotor came slightly bent when I first bought the bike and the dp developed a problem within 2 years so they just sent a new one!
Jamie Mcclean don’t listen to them, they have the best service I’ve had for a bike manufacturer! And that’s coming from a rider in California! They didn’t even charge me for ultrafast shipping for replacement parts!
Wee bit more
Less travel = More money. Isn't that weird?
Tolga Akyay no, not really, travel isn’t everything
Harry Winter entry level Mega has a better fork, pretty much the same components. So Nukeproof is charging money for their frame research to customers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Nukeproof and riding a Nukeproof Scout atm.
@@tolgaakyay Also the Reactor comes with a full carbon frame, the Mega has a aluminium rear triangle
It’s because every model of the reactor (even the al) has carbon seatstays
It’s a new model
Why review the stupid version of the reactor and not the standard
Neither, never in stock in a large and a bit exy to bring to Oz.
I have a Reactor on order from Wiggle, $68 freight to Tasmania.
@@paulgrubits7449 Tasmania? Is that the country with a small island called Australia just offshore?
Yo bist bit eez 'n Oibis Reepmo Aye iF
...damn it's hard to write with an accent.
@@SLAMTRON Yes
@@paulgrubits7449 👍😎
It’s not a cockpit, that in aircraft, it’s called a handle bar
Cockpit is stem and bars, not just the handlebars
In the right hands it can fly.
. . . . .So it's a cockpit !
I just compared the Mega TR 275 from 2014 and the Reactor. Literally - no difference. Same geometry, travel and tube lengths. I even bet that the old TR would feel more rigid and as far as I remember they are pretty robust, super fine welds and really tight tolerances in the linkage system. There is nothing “new” in that Reactor, just marketing bullshit.
Stilian Ivanov shit loads of them old trs snapped at the weld on the chainstay mate
ENDURO FOR DA BOYS
I rode one in the Italian Alps for 4 years on the downhill trails. Never had a problem with it.
Maybe the ones you are talking about are before 2014 ?
nope mate my mates 14 tr and my 15 am both snapped in same place after couple years
I think those shocks are poorly designed. Even motorcross doesn't have that old design. A multi-link would be better...
Would add too much weight
Bad review for your mudguards lolz
Too bad that even if you want to buy the mega, this is not available. Bad marketing
