Nukeproof has updated its MegaWatt lineup for 2022, adding an “over-forked” RS model with a 180mm travel RockShox ZEB Ultimate. That’s a fork travel increase of 10mm as compared to the rest of the MegaWatt range comprising the Factory, Elite and Comp models. It tops the range, retailing at a price of $9,999.99 USD.

With a drop of new stock for 2022, Nukeproof is updating the specifications for its MegaWatt range. All still run a mixed-wheel configuration and are powered by Shimano’s EP8 motor. The news for this model year is the addition of the MegaWatt RS with that longer travel ZEB Ultimate fork with Charge 2.1 damper. It joins the over-forked RS models seen across the Nukeproof range, including the Reactor, Giga and Scout hardtail.
