With only latest and greatest components on the market in its arsenal aboard an immensely versatile and adaptable geometry frame design, this ride is destined to be your go-anywhere trail companion.Ultra-Strong and Lightweight Carbon Fibre ConstructionThis ultimate aggressive high-performance 29er trail bike features a full carbon frame construction and modern geometry to tame any mountain with its robust, stable and strong adventure potential. Engineered with a UD woven carbon fibre frameset, it gives you the most essential confidence in its ability on even the most technical descents and the greatest traction and comfort for demanding climbs. These capabilities are thanks to the frame’s ultra-strong Monocoque carbon tube set and carbon seat stays, which ensure consistent and reactive handling with a low unsprung weight. This low weight and modern geometry makes the suspension as active and stable as possible and smooths out the roughest line-choices for immense speed and control.Shimano SLX 1×12 Drivetrain and Fox Suspension ComponentsEquipped with the latest drivetrain and suspension technology and a superb Nukeproof finishing kit to complete its build. This ride is a top performer that’s ready for soaring the highest peaks and descending the steepest chutes.

The Trail setting is best suited for pumping and carving your rhythm and style into the mountainside and still caters for rides who love the climb as much as the descent. On the other hand, the Rail setting turns the Reactor into an adrenaline-fuelled gravity tamer. Dropping the bottom bracket height by 6mm and slackening the head angle by half a degree, these changes give this Reactor greater stability and control when the trail leans downhill towards vertical. Nukeproof 4-Bar Horst Linkage Suspension Design: Ensuring the bike can climb as well as it descends, Nukeproof focussed on fine-tuning their 4-Bar Horst linkage suspension setup to give higher levels of anti-squat performance when higher up the cassette in the climbing gears, but also to deliver greater trail-gobbling performance when you drop down the cassette and begin descending the mountain. This means that the bike behaves itself on the climbs and grips with unprecedented traction and efficiency when making your way back towards sea-level. When you get it up to speed and drop a few gears to carry momentum, this bike turns into a trail hooligan and helps you carve the trail with style. The combination of low anti-squat and progressive suspension-rate give it the ultimate in small bump compliance (removes rough trail and root chatter) with good mid-stroke support for cornering/pumping and end stroke progression for aggressive riding. With balanced anti-rise suspension performance, the Reactor provides some squat when braking hard, maintaining rider position and providing a good amount of pressure through the tyre to ensure stability and traction. The Reactor is designed to reward the rider and ensure you get that stoke factor in on any ride.Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
