Details

From concept through to design, the Kinematics, the geometry and specification; the Reactor is designed from the ground up to be the ultimate aggressive trail bike. It is at home on technical climbs, but happiest when thrashing the most technical trails you can point it at.

Frame Construction:To optimise the weight, strength and stiffness, the Reactor Carbon frame features a full UD woven carbon fibre frameset (Including chain and seat stays). It is available for 27.5” or 29” wheel sizes. These are two totally different, compromise-free frames that were designed and developed at the same time. Each frame is simply tailored around each wheel size.

Speed or play: which do you value more? The manoeuvrability of 27.5” or the raw speed of a 29”?

Adjustable Geometry:All Reactor frames feature a “flip chip” to adjust the geometry from “Trail” to “Rail mode”.

Trail – As the name suggests, this setting is best suited for trail riding. It is for riders who get as much enjoyment from the climb as the descents.

Rail - The Rail setting turns the Reactor into a corner shredder, dropping the bottom bracket 6mm and slackening the head angle by half a degree. It is there to maximise the descending capabilities.

Suspension Design:To ensure the bike could climb as well as it descends, Nukeproof designed the 4-bar horst linkage to have higher levels of anti-squat for climbing gears but lower levels when you drop down the cassette. This means that the bike can behave itself on the climbs but when you get it up to speed, it turns into a trail hooligan. The combination of low anti-squat and progressive rate give ultimate small bump compliance (removes rough trail and root chatter) with good mid stroke support for cornering/pumping and end stroke progression for aggressive riding. Balanced anti-rise figures allow the Reactor some squat when braking hard, maintaining rider position and providing a good amount of pressure through the tyre to ensure traction. The Reactor is designed to reward the rider and ensure you get that stoke factor in on any ride.

    Bikes for mugs. Daylight robbery if you think that is worth the price of a nice second hand car.

    Why do bikes keep getting compared to cars?

    Well sorted bike this, nice find op.

    No issue with the price - good deal. The problem I have with this type of bike is it's so limited. The gearing is ridiculously low so you'll be spinning out on the flat, let alone downhill. Also the weight - 15kg for heavens sake. That's twice the weight of a decent road bike. Carbon fibre frames were brought in to reduce bike's weight!

    Full sus bikes are pretty heavy, if you want something lighter you can ride everywhere there's some good XC deals about. I just got a trek 9.7 for 2200 and it flies along the road as well as it did bombing round the woods.

    Premium brand, great spec. Great deal.

    Is this one with battery? Or is that extra?

    It's not leccy

    Nearly double the price for the e-bike. This is a good deal though (considering how wild the mtb market is).

    Or £500 diy with a torque mid mount motor. Tongshen are great 17ah battery

    Solid bike and spec, enough for anything you could throw it down. Far more investment than return on anything more.

    Even if it's not nukeproof I can't see anyone being able to make a warranty claim in that circumstance apart from maybe Superman/Deadpool etc...
  9. darksideby182's avatar
    That's a great price and spec.

    Great deal OP. Nukeproof is well overpriced normally but a good discount here makes it competitively priced.
    Good suspension grade and decent kit otherwise.
