The New Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon is the Fiercest E-Enduro Bike on the Planet
The new Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon is a bike that Nukeproof is incredibly proud of. Developed and designed in Northern Ireland, it harnesses the latest and greatest in eMTB technology and wraps it in a carbon frame designed to wallop the nastiest trails on the planet.
Made for the SRAM Powertrain
The new Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon was developed over two years as the test bed for SRAM's first-of-its-kind Eagle Powertrain—an integrated e-bike ecosystem that meshes SRAM's Eagle AXS transmission and a revolutionary new drive system into one cohesive package. This partnership gave Nukeproof engineers the unique opportunity to tailor-make the new Megawatt Carbon to fit the SRAM system like a glove.
he Nitty Gritty
The beating heart of the Megawatt Carbon is the new SRAM Eagle Powertrain. Powered by an all-new drive unit that makes 90Nm of torque and a 720Wh battery, the Powertrain ties together the drive unit, the Eagle Transmission, and AXS wireless shifting into one package that works in unison.
Two core features of the system are an optional Autoshift function and Coastshift. A rider can still shift the bike manually using the shifter pod, but the Autoshift feature allows the bike to change gears in the background to maximize motor function and let the rider focus on the trail ahead. Coastshift allows riders to change gears without turning the cranks; solving the age-old problem of mashing gears when a descent suddenly becomes an ascent.
Settled and Stable Yet Playful and Agile
The Megawatt's geometry has earned a reputation for surefootedness in terrain where most bikes fight for traction. Nukeproof didn't want to lose those qualities, so the rear linkage has only been slightly tweaked from the existing Megawatt. The suspension feels supple over small bumps and supportive in bigger hits, striking a balance between playful and planted in technical terrain.
Based on Rider Feedback
Based on rider feedback, Nukeproof cherrypicked the best features from previous models and added new ones such as storage under the motor cover for trailside essentials and improved internal cable routing, among other things.
Tested and Developed by the Pros
SRAM's Megawatt test bike was raced and developed through the 2022 E-Enduro World Series with the Nukeproof-SRAM Factory Racing team and the SRAM BlackBox race team, putting it to the test in some of the most difficult conditions on the planet.
The Result
The result is an e-enduro machine that's simple, fun, and rides like an absolute rocket ship. For Nukeproof, they think it's the finest bike they've ever designed.
