The 2024 Nukeproof Megawatt is first across the line with the SRAM Powertrain eBike Motor system. It boasts a maximum torque of 90 Nm and 680 Watts peak power, working with a SRAM 720 Wh battery loaded into the downtube. A dedicated mullet platform, the Megawatt is a full carbon affair, pairing a 170mm fork with 172mm of rear wheel travel, on an eBike that is positively awash with the latest tech your money can buy.
Seat tube length remains unchanged for S, M & L frames, pleasingly short at 380mm, 410mm and 440mm, respectively. The XL and XXL frames actually benefit from shorter seat tubes than the aluminum frame, at 460mm and 480mm, respectively. The motor has just two main riding modes; Range and Rally, both of which can be fine-tuned via the AXS App. There’s a Push Mode, too, that will drive the bike up to 6 km/h hour when the gradient becomes un-rideable. Switching modes is managed by the top button of the left-hand Pod Controller, but if that doesn’t suit you, you can also customize which button does what.
The coast-shift feature works as you might expect; the system can spin the chainring independently to the cranks as you’re coasting along, allowing the derailleur to shift the chain up or down the cassette to a gear ratio that better matches your speed. OurFrame Integration The motor is by no means silent, but is quieter than the Shimano EP801 motor that I had the pleasure of riding just the day before. If I were competing in an eMTB race, I would not use the auto-shift function. That’s because there is a short lag between the moment you want the next gear, and the moment the system gives it to you. That’s OK on a social ride, less so in a race situation. The coast-shift function I’d run all the time.
This was my first ride on the RockShox Vivid shock. As per Nukeproof’s recommendations, I set it to 30% sag . Again, all compression and rebound damping was set to fully open to allow the shock to function in its most active state. The Vivid has another external adjustment for the Hydraulic Bottom Out. There are 5 settings; I ran the shock in the first position to give the least bottom-out resistance.
