Nukeproof Reactor 290 Alloy 2026

The Nukeproof Reactor 290 Alloy is the ultimate aggressive trail bike, engineered to deliver precision climbing and exhilarating descents. Designed from the ground up, it combines optimised geometry, suspension kinematics, and advanced materials to thrive on technical trails. Constructed from hydroformed and butted 6061 T6 aluminium with carbon fibre seat stays, the Reactor 290 Alloy reduces unsprung mass while maintaining lateral stiffness, giving riders the perfect blend of low weight, strength, and responsiveness. Whether tackling a long alpine climb or charging steep, technical terrain, this trail-ready machine offers confidence, control, and all-day comfort.

Built for versatility and performance, the Reactor 290 Alloy features a four-bar Horst Link suspension platform with 140mm of rear travel, tuned for traction, comfort, and control. The Trail or Rail flip chip allows riders to adapt geometry for nimble climbing or aggressive descending, while generous mud clearance accommodates tyres up to 2.6 inches. With MAX bearings throughout, internal cable routing, and thoughtful frame details like 3D contoured rubber guards and accessory mounts, the Reactor is practical, durable, and designed for seamless trail shredding. From bike park laps to epic mountain adventures, the Reactor 290 Alloy is a true all-rounder for riders demanding precision, versatility, and reliability.
