Nukeproof Reactor 290 RS Carbon Bike (X01 Eagle) 2021 – M – Bottle Blue

Description

Nukeproof Reactor 290 RS Carbon Bike (X01 Eagle)Giving you 10mm more front suspension travel than the rest of the Reactor 290 range, the 290 RS model ensures you’ll float over the rough stuff and carry your speed better after jumps and drops. The 290 RS’s carbon frame combines with the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate forks, SRAM Code brakes and SRAM X01 drivetrain to guide you through the toughest trails with ease.SRAM X01 Eagle Gears and Mavic DeemaxPRO WheelsThe RS model is the hooligan spec option in the range, with a host of upgrades to make it burlier than the rest. It features a +10mmRockShoxLyrikUltimate RC2forks (150mm) upfront, aRockShoxSuper Deluxe Ultimate RCT rear shock, Nukeproof’s award-winning carbon handlebars, 4 Pot Code RSC brakes (With Sintered Pads), a SRAM X01 EagleDrivechainwith Carbon Descendant Cranks and Mavic’sDeemaxPROwheelset.Frame Construction: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. The Alloy Reactor features a custom triple butted hydro-formed tube set and carbon seat stays, which help reduce the overall weight of the frameset. Critically this reduces the unsprung weight; making the suspension as active as possible. The Reactor 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 GeometryAll 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 descending capabilities.Suspension DesignTo 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 on any ride.Features:Frame: Nukeproof Reactor 290 Carbon, 130mm Travel, UD woven Carbon Fibre frame, internal cable routing, ISCG 05 mounts, Enduro bearings, Threaded 73mm BB, Boost 148mm rear axle spacing, 3D contoured rubber frame protection Fork: RockShox Lyrik Ultimate Charger 2 RC2 150mm, 42mm Offset, BOOST, Debonair, Gloss Red Shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate RCT, Custom ML 320 tune, 210x50mm, Bearing End, 1x bottomless token fittedHeadset: Nukeproof, 44-56 IITSStem: Nukeproof Horizon, 50mm, Black Handlebars: Nukeproof Horizon Carbon V2, 25mm Rise, Width: S: 780mm; M: 780mm; L: 800mm; XL: 800mm Grips: Nukeproof Sam Hill SignatureShifter: SRAM X01 Eagle 12-Speed, RedCrankset: SRAM X1 Carbon Eagle 12-Speed, 170mm, 32T, B148, DUBChain: SRAM GX Eagle 12-SpeedCassette: SRAM X01 Eagle 12-Speed, CS PG1295 EAGLE 10-50T Rear Derailleur: SRAM X01 Eagle 12-Speed, RedBrakes: SRAM Code RSC hydraulic disc brakes, sintered padsFront Rotor: SRAM Centreline, 200mmRear Rotor: SRAM Centreline, 180mmFront Wheel: Mavic Deemax Pro Sam Hill, 29″, 6 Bolt, 110x15mm Rear Wheel: Mavic Deemax Pro Sam Hill, 29″, 6 Bolt, XD Driver, 148x12mm Tyres: Front: Maxxis Assegai 29×2.5 WT 3C MaxxTerra/EXO+/TR; Rear: Maxxis Dissector 29×2.4 WT 3C MaxxTerra/EXO+/TR Seatpost: RockShox Reverb Stealth with 1x Remote, 31.6mm; S: 346mm length, 125mm drop; M: 409mm length, 150mm drop; L: 462mm length, 175mm drop; XL: 514.5mm length, 200mm drop Weight: 13.9 kg / 30.6lbs (Tubeless) Technologies: Flip Chip Adjustable Suspension Geometry:All models of the Reactor feature a “flip-chip”, so that the bike geometry can be easily adjusted from “Trail” to “Rail” mode without having to custom tune your suspension setup. The Trail setting is best suited for pumping and carving your rhythm and style into the mountainside and still caters for rides who love the climb as much as the descent. On the other hand, the Rail setting turns the Reactor into an adrenaline-fuelled gravity tamer. Dropping the bottom bracket height by 6mm and slackening the head angle by half a degree, these changes give this Reactor greater stability and control when the trail leans downhill towards vertical. Nukeproof 4-Bar Horst Linkage Suspension Design:Ensuring the bike can climb as well as it descends, Nukeproof focussed on fine-tuning their 4-Bar Horst linkage suspension setup to give higher levels of anti-squat performance when higher up the cassette in the climbing gears, but also to deliver greater trail-gobbling performance when you drop down the cassette and begin descending the mountain. This means that the bike behaves itself on the climbs and grips with unprecedented traction and efficiency when making your way back towards sea-level. When you get it up to speed and drop a few gears to carry momentum, this bike turns into a trail hooligan and helps you carve the trail with style. The combination of low anti-squat and progressive suspension-rate give it the ultimate in small bump compliance (removes rough trail and root chatter) with good mid-stroke support for cornering/pumping and end stroke progression for aggressive riding. With balanced anti-rise suspension performance, the Reactor provides some squat when braking hard, maintaining rider position and providing a good amount of pressure through the tyre to ensure stability and traction. The Reactor is designed to reward the rider and ensure you get that stoke factor in on any ride.Easy AssemblyWhen 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 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 kids’ 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 kids’ 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.This video demonstrates assembly from aSMALL BOX.This video demonstrates assembly from aLARGE BOX.Buy Nukeproof Bikesfrom Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
