What makes Nukeproof different
Nukeproof builds bikes for riders who push hard on real trails. The brand focuses on durability, suspension feel and geometry that stays stable at speed. Every frame is tested and refined with input from elite gravity riders. The result is bikes that stay predictable on rough ground and reward confident handling.
A short history of the brand
Nukeproof started in the early 1990s with titanium and carbon components. The brand was rebuilt in Belfast in 2007 with a focus on downhill and enduro racing. After the CRC collapse in 2024, Nukeproof moved under Belgian Cycling Factory in 2025. The new ownership has rebuilt the range and returned the brand to dealer‑only distribution.
Current bike platforms
Nukeproof now offers a focused line of trail, enduro and e‑MTB platforms. The Reactor covers fast trail riding with balanced travel and mixed wheel options. The Kilowatt is the long‑travel e‑MTB built around the Avinox motor system. New enduro and downhill frames are being reintroduced as the brand rebuilds its full gravity range.
Ride feel and design approach
Nukeproof bikes are known for a planted ride feel. The suspension kinematics aim for grip and support rather than a soft initial stroke. Geometry is long, low and stable without feeling extreme. The brand prioritises real‑world performance over weight savings or headline numbers.
