Nukeproof Giga 297 MX Bike X01

Nukeproof Giga 297 MX Bike X01

The Giga 297 Carbon MX features a 29" wheel at the front and a 27.5" at the rear, giving an outstanding balance of pace agility and control for riding all terrain, anywhere on Earth. This Nukeproof super-enduro bike is ideal for climbing steep technical climbs and fast downhills routes over the roughest riding conditions and is armed to perform to the highest level.

SRAM X01 Eagle Groupset and Nukeproof Horizon Wheels

This full-suspension bike has a full-carbon frameset that's equipped with 180mm-travel Fox 38 Float, Factory Series, Kashima, Grip 2 Damper suspension forks and a Fox Float X2, Factory Series, Kashima rear shock. It's armed with a SRAM X01 Eagle 12-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 10-52-tooth cassette and SRAM Code RSC hydraulic disc brakes, this component spec provides smooth gear shifting and powerful all-weather braking performance. Also, this all-terrain monster truck of a bike rolls upon Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels wrapped in Maxxis Tubeless tyres - this ensures you have exceptional speed, stability and traction in all riding conditions.

GLUTTONY – HABITUAL GREED OR EXCESS.

As riders, we are all guilty of the gluttonous sin; we never stop striving, never stop pushing, enough is never enough in the hunt for the ultimate. It’s a constant push for bigger, longer, rougher, and faster with ever increasing demands on the performance and capabilities of our bike. The pursuit is endless, and the result is that the Giga is now available in an all-new 297 MX platform.

The Nukeproof Giga is the embodiment of this idea; Designed to be the ultimate hard-hitting Super-Enduro weapon for when you just need more.

Front 29” / Rear 27.5” Wheel Platform

The Giga is now available for 297 MX (Front 29”/Rear 27.5” wheel sizes) wheel set ups, with each frame design tailored around each wheel size. The 297 MX uses a 29” wheel up front to maximise grip and rolling efficiency and replaces the 29” with a 27.5” wheel out back. The smaller 27.5” rear wheel ensures nimble handling and extra clearance for riders when leaning off the back of the bike (Especially on steep terrain).

Long Travel Super Enduro Bike for All Terrain Riding

Whatever the wheel size; the Giga a seriously capable machine, with 180mm (27.5” or 29”/27.5”) or 170mm (29”) rear travel; the Giga is a monster truck of a bike that has travel in reserve for when you need it. But to pigeon-hole it as a point-and-shoot machine would be a disservice as it is so much more capable than this might suggest. Due to the way that it uses its travel; the Giga gives you the feel of a big bike, yet the versatility of a modern super-enduro bike. The Giga has a dynamic and confidence inspiring ride to help you push your limits in all kinds of terrain. It’s equally at home at big mountain technical enduro stages of venues like La Thuile, as it is lapping the biggest lines in the Whistler bike park.  

Supportive and Progressive Suspension System

The suspension is designed to be super supple off the top, whilst being supportive in the mid stroke and progressive throughout the rest of the travel. The anti-squat is optimised to ensure the Giga descends like a hooligan yet behaves itself on the climb back to the top for the next run.

Flip-Chip Adjustable Suspension Travel

The suspension platform is based on the same horseshoe driven linkage as our award-winning Dissent downhill frame, albeit now with a 2-stage main pivot flip chip. Using an eccentric axle system, riders can alter the Kinematic progressivity; the bike can be tailored to suit the conditions on the trail with only an 8mm allen key.

• Setting 1 = 25.5% progression 
• Setting 2 = 29% progression 

Both settings have a super supple beginning for small bump compliance. They also both have good mid-stroke support for better cornering and pumping. Like the Dissent, the progression drops off in the end stroke to prevent mid-stroke harshness or spiking and allows more tuning options with volume spacers. 

The + Progressive setting can be used to add shock progression on a coil set up just like adding a volume spacer to an air shock. The added suppleness is also good in wet and slippery conditions. 

Uni Directional 700/800 Carbon Fibre Frameset

The Giga Frame is constructed completely from UD 700/800 Carbon Fibre. This allowed Nukeproof to optimise the stiffness and compliance of the frame parts individually. The front triangle has been tailored for stability and precision, whilst the rear triangle was designed for compliance to help tracking and provide grip. Another bonus of the carbon rear triangle is that it has a lower un-sprung mass for ultimate suspension performance.

To ensure a perfectly dialled fit, Nukeproof now offer the 297 bikes in S, M, or L sizes and the 290 bikes in M, L, XL or XXL. The frame geometry is Long, Low, Slack and Steep as it is based around our saddle offset principle, which ensures the seated riding position is tailored across all sizes, with steeper seat angles on bigger frames. The Seat tube is also designed for maximum seat post insertion to allow maximum drop.

Water Bottle Cage Compatible

The Giga is also sculptured to fit a 750ml water bottle (carbon bottle cage included) as well as an accessory mount under the top tube for emergency trail tools. All models also feature an integrated rear mud guard and plenty of clearance for up to 2.5” tyres. The frames feature a clear paint protection kit as standard with 3D contoured rubber downtube, seat and chain stay protection.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
