From concept to kinematics, geometry to spec, the Nukeproof Reactor was built from the ground up to be the ultimate aggressive trail bike. It climbs with precision but truly comes alive when you’re charging technical trails.
Constructed from a full UD woven carbon fiber frame, including the chain and seat stays, the Reactor delivers the perfect blend of low weight, strength, and stiffness.
Made for long days in the saddle, it’s your go-anywhere trail weapon—ready for epic adventures where a 1,000m climb leads to a 1,000m descent. Whatever the trail throws at you, the Reactor 290 Carbon is built to take it on.

Bought the Nukeproof Mega from Wheelie and the service was exceptional. Bike arrived perfectly built and ready to ride. The team really know their stuff.
Couldn't fault the experience. Great price, fast delivery, and the bike was impeccably set up. Would 100% buy from Wheelie again.
Really helpful team who helped me choose the right size. Came in for a test ride and bought the same day. The workshop setup is top notch.
