For over 10 years, our best-selling model; the mega has been racking up awards on enduro stages and in the press around the world. With 4 enduro world series titles to its name, the mega has become an icon that is synonymous with racing. However, we never rest on our laurels and 2021 sees the introduction of the 4th generation mega, now in a 297 offering

The pursuitfor performance isendless. Developed in conjunction with our elite athletes, the Megais now available ina mixed(MX)wheel size platform.TheMega297is a seriously capable machine,paring a 29” wheel up front with a 27.5” wheel out back. Why two sized wheels? The29” wheel up front to maximise grip and rolling efficiency whilst the 27.5” wheel out back, ensures nimble handling for manoeuvrability and extra clearance for riders when leaning off the back of the bike. 

To optimise the weight, strength and stiffness, the Mega Carbon frame features a T700/800 UD woven carbon fibre frameset (Front and rear Triangle). The new carbon swingarms helps reduce theunsprungweight on the rear of the bike. All forged partaremade from 6061-T6 Aluminium.

With 4 Enduro World Series Titles in 3 years the V4 design is an evolution of the ultimate race proven enduro bike. At the heart of the frame is its suspension Kinematics, designed to be more subtle off the top, whilst remaining progressive and predictable. Anti-Squat is used to create an effective pedalling bike that can be thrashed through technical terrain. With a wide SAG range to allow riders to tune the suspension to the trails.

Other key features include:

  • Front 29”/Rear 27.5”MXwheel size platform
  • Optimised suspension kinematics
  • Tube-In-Tube design for easy cable installation
  • SRAM UDH
  • On bike tool storage options
  • Room for a750ml water bottle inside the main front triangle

The Mega framegeometry features dynamic saddle offsetwhich is designed tooptimiseseatedrider weight distributionon each frame size. This is achieved throughseat anglewhich arebespoke toeach frame size. Inaddition,theactualseat tube is designed tobe shorteroverallwithabigger maximuminsert depthso as toallow alonger dropper post if required.
