Pinkbike reckon its carbon. Looking at the seat tube though (and the price point nukeproof hit), I’d say aluminium.

what would be the point of it being alloy (other than cost), it would pretty much be the same bike as the vitus e sommet

As you say, cost.
NP is supposed to be good value. If the factory reactor/mega is £6k then a carbon ebike will be 7.5/8k and thats getting into rip off santa cruz / specialized teritiory!

Rob has just posted an instagram story of a nukeproof waterbottle with 27.5/29% graphics... so its coming soon if he has one too.

I suspect you won't have to wait very long for the full lowdown - but I am guessing if you imagine a mullet Mega with an EP8 system in it then you will hit the mark

That would probably be enough to cancel my Marin Alpine Trail E2 order as I’m a big fan of Nukeproof, my Giga is the fastest bike I’ve ever ridden.

You probably need to open your eyes a little as to what top end Carbon EWS bikes actually cost and re evaluate what constitutes value.

Nukeproof is bringing the launch forward now so you'll know RRP and specs of the 3 models in a matter of hours.

Fully aware, I have a higher than factory level Giga...
Great! Cheers for the tip.
I did guess it would be announced tomorrow. Hopefully they will have stock soon without the 7 months (and counting) I’ve been waiting for the Marin!
