Thinking of building a new bike to ride an enduro event i'm doing this year. Seen the Nukeproof Mega AM frame at a good price and was wondering if anyone has ridden the nukeproof frames and what they felt about them?

Also How does this frame climb with 160mm travel?

They seem to have good reviews and reliabilty from what i've seen.


Thanks in advance

    I have a Mega TR and have ridden an AM. Both are great rides. Both are capable of enduro racing.
    They both climb well and both descend well. The AM is a little better over really rough ground due to the extra travel but the TR is lighter and climbs better.
    If I was going to do alpine trips a couple times a year and it wasn't going to be my XC bike I would go for the AM. As an all rounder for general trail riding, tearing up enduro races and having fun I prefered the TR.
    The sizing is a bit small. The XL Mega feels closer to most large frames.
    I will be doing Grizedale, Afan and Dyfi rounds of UK Gravity enduro on my TR.
