Unleash Your Inner Adventurer:

The Megawatt 297 RS Alloy Bike takes e-bike performance to new heights. It's born from Nukeproof's relentless commitment to constant development, ensuring that riders experience the very best. The Megawatt is Nukeproof’s first E-Bike, and it has garnered widespread acclaim for its agile handling, impressive suspension, and balanced geometry.

Mullet Wheel Standard:

Riders come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their bikes. The 297 series is offered in S, M, L, XL, and XXL sizes. A 29” wheel at the front maximizes grip and rolling efficiency, while a 27.5” wheel at the rear ensures nimble handling and manoeuvrability. To protect the frame and keep things quiet on the trail, the rear chainstays feature a 3D-molded chain guard.

Modern Enduro Inspired Race Geometry:

The Megawatt boasts a contemporary enduro-inspired race geometry characterized by lower, longer, steeper, and slacker design elements. These factors optimize seated weight distribution and reach figures across all sizes, guaranteeing a comfortable cockpit, especially for taller riders. Short seat tubes maximize seat post insertion depths, and short offset forks enhance both climbing and descending performance.

Progressive, Supple, and Supportive Suspension:

Nukeproof took suspension design to the next level with the Megawatt. The Mega 4-bar horst linkage has been reimagined to provide exceptional small bump sensitivity, progressive mid-stroke support for pedaling, cornering, and pumping, and increased end-stroke leverage. This design offers riders more tuning options with volume spacers. The new kinematics result in higher anti-squat for climbing gears, which gradually reduces as you shift down the cassette. The outcome is a bike that instills confidence everywhere on the trail. It excels during climbs and can handle the roughest, most technical terrain on descents. The wide SAG range (30%-35%) allows riders to fine-tune the bike's characteristics to their preferences.

Durable and Lightweight Alloy Frame:

Engineered for peak performance with the Shimano EP801 Motor and battery, the Megawatt features a hydroformed 6061 aluminium frame. It shares some tube shapes and characteristics with its Mega sibling but incorporates several significant differences. An innovative one-piece cast Bottom Bracket shell has been specially designed to house the Shimano Steps EP801 Motor. The downtube offers exceptional strength and rigidity while providing easy access to remove the internal battery for charging or transport.

Choose Your Adventure:

The Megawatt is available in four specifications: Comp, Elite, Factory, and RS, catering to your riding needs and budget. The Factory and Elite models feature a 630Wh Shimano battery, while the Comp boasts a 504Wh battery. Both battery sizes are compatible with all models, thanks to a secure and user-friendly mount system. All bikes come with a Shimano battery charger and adapter for convenient on and off-bike charging, compatible with Euro or UK cables.

Maximize Your Descents:

With the Megawatt 297 RS Alloy Bike, you're not just riding; you're maximizing your time descending, allowing you to return to the top faster, time and time again. Elevate your riding experience and conquer any trail with confidence aboard this extraordinary E-Bike.
