The Nukeproof Mega Carbon 297 MX Kit enables you to convert your 290 Nukeproof Mega to the MX platform that enables you to use a 27.5 rear wheel for the perfect balance of speed, agility and control over all terrains. This Nukeproof Mega 297c MX kit includes everything you need to convert a 290c Mega V4 frame into a 297c MX bike, running a 29″ front and 27.5″ rear wheel. Why would you want to do that? A mixed wheel set-up uses a 29″ wheel up front to maximise grip and rolling efficiency and replaces the 29″ with a 27.5 wheel out back. For a carbon Mega 290c frame conversion to 297c, no additional frame parts are required to complete the installation. All current 290c frame parts will transfer to the MX kit as shown in the fitting guide. Please Note: You will require a Boost 148mm 27.5 Rear wheel and tyre, not included. The MX kit is compatible with Mega V4 Carbon frames but will also work on a Mega 290 V4 Alloy frame. To complete an install to a Mega V4 Alloy you will also need the carbon lower swing link kit and brake mount. New gear cable and brake olive and barb will be required in most cases. Nukeproof Mega V4 Carbon 297 Seat stays (X1) and Chainstays (X1). Made from ultra-strong monocoque UD Carbon Fibre. Internally piped cable routing. Boost 148mm rear axle spacing. 3D contoured Rubber frame protection included. Factory fitted clear paint protection kit covering CS/SS. Will this change the Geometry of my Mega? Nukeproof has designed the Mega as a series of parts that can be fitted together to make different configurations. As a result, the geometry remains the same. For exact geo’ please reference the Mega 297 geometry chart. Can I fit this myself at home? Yes, referencing our install guide and you are a competent mechanic with the correct tools and the know-how for using them. Due to the complex nature of a full-suspension frame, there are a lot of moving parts that must be installed and assembled in the correct order. It is also imperative that the correct parts are greased, thread locked or torqued to specification. If you do not have the know-how, then please contact your local Nukeproof dealer or skilled service centre. Any questions or quires please let me know!
