The Nukeproof brand has always supplied bikes for adrenaline-seeking trail lovers. With 170 mm of suspension travel at the fork, the Megawatt FACTORY also fits this mold.
In the automotive and motorcycle world, Japan has always had a reputation for being a breeding ground for excellent engines. Shimano is doing its utmost to live up to this reputation in the e-bike world with the EP8 engine. Also seemingly hopeless inclines the Shimano motor easily climbs up well Although the EP8 isn't the strongest when it comes to maximum power, it still has its advantages.. The Shimano EP8 provides a natural riding experience with a gentle power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Megawatt FACTORY with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Megawatt FACTORY in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (8000) .

The outstanding chassis with 170 mm boosts the confidence of every rider and lets them discover new speed realms in descents. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. When it comes to the brakes, Nukeproof reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from Shimano. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Nukeproof leaves almost no wishes open and only uses fantastic parts. When it comes to the geometry, Nukeproof does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. Due to the short chainstays , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting.
