Nucleus

01

Algupära

Launched around 2017 as a value-first trail hardtail sold through Chain Reaction Cycles (parent company). The Nucleus quickly earned a cult following by delivering modern geometry — slack head angles, short chainstays, dropper routing — at a fraction of premium brands. By 2022 it had won the MBR Hardtail of the Year award four consecutive times.

Verdikt

+Tugevused
  • Modern geometry (slack HTA, short chainstays) punches above its weight class
  • Four MBR HOTY awards validate consistent real-world performance
  • Dropper routing and boost spacing future-proof the build
Nõrkused
  • Aluminium frame adds ~1 kg vs equivalent carbon hardtails
  • Spec components (fork, brakes) are entry-mid tier; common first upgrade targets
  • Wire-bead tyres rather than folding/tubeless-ready on base builds
