Obviously stock is an issue but with that in mind what would you choose ….. 27.5 vs 29’……

Both look ace but not sure I’ll have enough patience to wait until next year to own one ?

You might be in for a nasty surprise in that case...

Thanks guys after a lot of back and forth etc
I couldn’t decide and then found it difficult finding stock after one bike sold …. So in a last minute change of heart and Leap of faith I’ve got a new Megawatt Elite on its way ! Hopefully it’s just what I’m after

Vitus Esommet VRX 2021...beats them all hands down.

 

[apac]

Nukeproof, is that not ChainReaction Cycles own brand? You know like Halfords has Carrera bikes and Asda has 'Smart Price'.... ? ?

I purchased the 2021 Trek Rail 9 last year costing £5700 from blazing Bikes. I can't fault the bike at all. I've done 600km on it on single track trails and a good few trips to BPW, I've not needed to change anything on it yet, possibly the tires when the weather changes though. Such an amazing bike, would definitely recomend to anyone, although the price has shot up since last year ??

Add a bit and Buy R&M Delight off road with 650 battery . Bomb proof ??

So you've tried " them all " then ? ?

Most brands I'd say....I test them ?

 

[Sidepod]

Anything half decent on eBay with a Bosch 4/625 for £3k then add all the trick bits I like and bank £1500.

Stock is a big issue.
I went for this, Cannondale Habit Nero 2. A tad over the 6k. It had rave reviews. I know the travel is not as much as some, but I haven't noticed the difference.

No Hotlines is the Distributor for Nukeproof but use CRC as main dealer, along with Hayes etc

Haha,, fair enough. Was only pulling the leg of the owner. ?

 

[Tonybro]

What about the Orbea Rise M20, lightweight, EP8 RS (60Nm), nice ride... Below budget too (by £1!).

The blue one.
Colour is the most important selection choice... otherwise I would have to change my outfit! ;-)

I don't think Nukeproof is owned by CRC? Sold by CRC yes, same as Vitus not owned.

What both brands have in common is that they are both in-house brands for Chain Reaction Cycles, the online retail giant.

Love the colour?

 

[Zaskar20]

Love the colour?

Thanks, It was the only colour option available, but I would’ve chosen it anyway. It’s a pearlescent Orange which is not showing up well in my original pic.
