Nukeproof's Megawatt is one of the UK's best-selling electric mountain bikes. The team have now developed a super-strong custom carbon frame version, wearing a top-of the range build kit including SRAM's Eagle Transmission drivetrain and the new SRAM Powertrain drive unit.
Based around the multi-EWS winning Mega frame set the newly unleashed megawatt is an E-MTB for riders who want things fast, agile and hungry for many miles of mayhem. The transition to carbon has undergone extensive testing to make sure the Megawatt is ready to take a beating while maintaining the Megawatt's ride feel.
For the Megawatt Nukeproof have gone with mixed wheel sizing, the large 29" wheel up front promotes fast charging speed and superior grip levels while the smaller 27.5" wheel out back keeps the bike agile and nimble through twists and turns.
The flagship model RS spec has an outstanding build kit. The latest wireless shifting technology in SRAM's X0 Eagle Transmission 1x12 speed drive train, Rockshox ZEB Ultimate fork and Vivid Ultimate rear shock, SRAM Code RSC disc brakes, wireless Rockshox Reverb AXS dropper seatpost, Continental Kryptotal tyres and Nukeproof Horizon PRO wheelset.
SRAM Eagle Powertrain -
Providing the power is the SRAM Eagle powertrain unit, this newly developed e-mtb motor has been designed specifically for the needs of mountain biking and makes 90nm of torque and has a 720wh, easily accessed, battery for juice.
Two core features of the system are an optional Autoshift function and Coastshift. A rider can still shift the bike manually using the shifter pod, but the Autoshift feature allows the bike to change gears in the background to maximize motor function and let the rider focus on the trail ahead. Coastshift allows riders to change gears without turning the cranks; solving the age-old problem of mashing gears when a descent suddenly becomes an ascent.
